Characterization of entomopathogenic nematodes and symbiotic bacteria active against Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and contribution of bacterial urease to the insecticidal effect

2012-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Entomopathogenic nematodes carrying symbiotic bacteria represent one of the best non-chemical strategies for insect control. Infective juveniles of Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae nematodes actively seek the host in the soil, penetrating through insect’s openings to reach the hemocoel where symbiotic bacteria in the genera Photorhabdus or Xenorhabdus, respectively, are released. The bacteria replicate and p...
