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' …

The entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema hermaphroditum was recently rediscovered
and is being developed as a genetically tractable experimental system for the study of …

Nematodes are among the most abundant and widely distributed animal phyla. It should,
therefore, be unsurprising that a wide range of physiological adaptations have emerged in …

ABSTRACT A new species of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema adamsi n. sp.,
was recovered from the soil of a longan tree (Dimocarpus sp.) in Mueang Lamphun District …

Symbiosis, the beneficial interactions between two organisms, is a ubiquitous feature of all
life on Earth, including associations between animals and bacteria. However, the specific …

Steinernema hermaphroditum is the only identified entomopathogenic nematode that is
consistently hermaphroditic and thus offers a great opportunity to use genetic approaches to …

The Baermann filter method is a long-standing, simple technique for recovering nematodes
from soil and charcoal coprocultures. Material containing the nematodes is placed on a …

Entomopathogenic nematodes are commonly used to control insect pest populations in the
field. They also contribute substantially to understanding the molecular basis of nematode …

The biological roles of the autofluorescent lysosome-related organelles (“gut granules”) in
the intestinal cells of many nematodes, including Caenorhabditis elegans, have been shown …

Entomopathogenic nematodes in the genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema are obligate
parasites of insects that live in the soil. The main characteristic of their life cycle is the …
