Found widespread around the globe, Serratia are Gram-negative bacteria capable of
thriving in a diverse number of environments that include water, soil, and the digestive tracts …

Single host–symbiont interactions should be reconsidered from the perspective of the
pathobiome. We revisit here the interactions between entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) …

Among the diversity of insect-parasitic nematodes, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs)
are distinct, cooperating with insect-pathogenic bacteria to kill insect hosts. EPNs have …

Nematodes are among the most abundant organisms on Earth, as they exist in almost every
possible habitat and ecosystem (Bernard, 1992; De Ley, 2006; Ettema, 1998; Powers et al …

A survey to collect soil nematodes with potential to control Ceratitis capitata flies was carried
out in different locations in Tunisia. Several nematode isolates were recovered, laboratory …

Ineffectiveness of available nematicides and the high damage caused by plant-parasitic
nematodes result in the urgent need to find some natural remedy for their control. Bioactivity …

Species with broad ecological amplitudes with respect to a key focal resource, niche
generalists, should maintain larger and more connected populations than niche specialists …

Understanding how parasites evolved is crucial to understand the host and parasite
interaction. The evolution of entomopathogenesis in rhabditid nematodes has traditionally …

A novel entomopathogenic nematode species, Heterorhabditidoides rugaoensis n. sp.
RG081015, collected from Rugao, China, is described. The new species is morphologically …

The importance of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus symbionts to their respective
Steinernema and Heterorhabditis nematode hosts is that they not only contribute to their …
