The emphasis of this review is on the use and potential of entomopathogenic nematodes
(EPNs) as biological control agents in sustainable food production across a wide range of …

Entomopathogenic nematodes from the two genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis are
widely used as biological agents against various insect pests and represent a promising …

Parasitic helminths release molecular effectors into their hosts and these effectors can
directly damage host tissue and modulate host immunity. Excreted/secreted proteins (ESPs) …

The term “microbial control” has been used to describe the use of microbial pathogens
(bacteria, viruses, or fungi) or entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) to control various insect …

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) can kill and recycle in their host populations, which
bodes well for EPNs' exploitation in long-term and safe pest management. However, EPNs' …

Helminths stage a powerful infection that allows the parasite to damage host tissue through
migration and feeding while simultaneously evading the host immune system. This feat is …

Symptoms of beech leaf disease (BLD), first reported in Ohio in 2012, include interveinal
greening, thickening and often chlorosis in leaves, canopy thinning and mortality …

A survey to collect soil nematodes with potential to control Ceratitis capitata flies was carried
out in different locations in Tunisia. Several nematode isolates were recovered, laboratory …

Below-ground insect pests are challenging to control because they are hard to target with
control measures. Moreover, broad spectrum insecticides are or will soon be banned due to …

Recent advances in insect-pathogen interactions have started to reveal the role of insect
tissues and organs as natural infection routes for parasites and microbial pathogens. Here …
