Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral ecology of entomopathogenic nematodes
TL;DR: The behavior and ecology of entomopathogenic nematodes in relation to their successes and failures as biological control agents are discussed and some suggestions about where future research should be directed are made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host finding behaviour as a predictor of foraging strategy in entomopathogenic nematodes
TL;DR: It is concluded that H. bacteriophora, H. megidis, S. anomali and S. glaseri cruise to find hosts, whereas S. scapterisci ambush hosts are intermediary in the search continuum sharing some characteristics of both ambush and cruise foragers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entomopathogenic nematode host finding : response to host contact cues by cruise and ambush foragers
TL;DR: Steinernema glaseri responds to selected chemical host cues for host location, whereas S. carpocapsae does not and it is predicted that cruising foragers rely on chemical cues more heavily than ambushers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of cruiser and ambusher entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernematidae) to host volatile cues
TL;DR: Two species of entomopathogenic nematodes, an ambush forager and a cruising forager, were assayed for their responses to volatiles associated with Galleria mellonella and Steinernema glaseri showed no significant response to any treatments tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increased Akt signaling in the mosquito midgut disrupts parasite development and concurrently reduces the duration that mosquitoes are infective to humans.
