Abstract excerpt
Xenorhabdus nematophila/Steinernema carpocapsae and Photorhabdus luminescens/Heterorhabditis bacteriophora are nemato-bacterial complexes highly pathogenic for insects. Using a syringe as artificial vector, we have analyzed the effects of the two bacteria, X. nematophila and P. luminescens on the genetic tool insect, Drosophila melanogaster. Both bacteria were found to kill adult flies in a dose dependent manner...
