Among the diversity of insect-parasitic nematodes, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are distinct, cooperating with insect-pathogenic bacteria to kill insect hosts. EPNs have adapted specific mechanisms associate and transmit New discoveries expanded this guild refine our understanding nature evolution insect–nematode associations. Here, we clarify meaning “entomopathogenic” in nematology argue that must rapidly their hosts aid bacterial partners pass on associated future generations.
Entomopathogenic nematodes in Steinernema, together with their symbiont bacteria Xenorhabdus, are obligate and lethal parasites of insects that can provide effective biological control some important lepidopteran, dipteran, coleopteran pests commercial crops. Phylogenetic relationships among 21 Steinernema species were estimated using 28S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences morphological characters. Sequences the rDNA internal transcribed spacers obtained to additional molecular characters...
Parasitism is a major ecological niche for variety of nematodes. Multiple nematode lineages have specialized as pathogens, including deadly parasites insects that are used in biological control. We sequenced and analyzed the draft genomes transcriptomes entomopathogenic Steinernema carpocapsae four congeners (S. scapterisci, S. monticolum, feltiae, glaseri). these to establish phylogenetic relationships, explore gene conservation across species, identify genes uniquely expanded insect...

This review focuses on common insecticidal virulence factors from entomopathogenic bacteria with special emphasis two insect pathogenic Photorhabdus (Proteobacteria: Enterobacteriaceae) and Bacillus (Firmicutes: Bacillaceae). Insect of diverse taxonomic groups phylogenetic origin have been shown to striking similarities in the they produce. It has suggested that detection phage elements surrounding toxin genes, horizontal lateral gene transfer events, plasmid shuffling occurrences may be...
Two phenylpropanoid and one alkaloid secondary metabolites were isolated identified from culture filtrates of Photorhabdus l. sonorensis strain Caborca. The three showed selective nematicidal and/or nematistatic activities against two important plant parasitic nematodes, the root-knot nematode ( Meloidogyne incognita ) citrus Tylenchulus semipenetrans ).
Abstract Steinernema scarabaei n. sp. (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) is a new entomopathogenic nematode isolated from larvae of the scarab beetles Anomala(= Exomala)orientalis and Popillia japonica turfgrass in New Jersey, USA. Morphology, hybridisation molecular studies indicated distinctness S. other spp. Distinctive diagnostic characters include: presence mucronated tail both first generation adults; ventrally bifurcated mucro female tail; size shape spicules gubernaculum arrangement...
The widespread use of crop plants genetically engineered to produce toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) imposes selection on insect populations evolve resistance. pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a major pest cotton in southwestern United States that currently controlled with transgenic produces Bt toxin Cry1Ac. Previously reported theoretical work suggests that, conjunction high dose/refuge strategy, fitness costs resistance...
