Entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida; Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) are insect parasites which are of economic importance due to their use as biocontrol agents. The third larval stage, infective juveniles (IJs) leave the natal host and move in the soil to locate a new insect host. Both f...
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) such as Steinernema spp. and Heterorhabditis spp. are obligate parasites of insects and effective biocontrol agents. Infective juveniles (IJs) of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis megidis are distantly related and exhibit different foraging behaviours but u...
