Diversity and phylogenetic relationships of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) from the Sky Islands of southern Arizona

Isolation and identification of entomopathogenic nematodes and their symbiotic bacteria from Hérault and Gard (Southern France)

“…In our study, nematode-bacterium entomopathogenic complexes were found in very diverse habitats confirming again the wide plasticity to ecological parameters of these organisms. Previous surveys have reported the presence of EPN in oak woodlands and forest (Stock et al, 1999;Sturhan and Liskova, 1999;Tarasco and Triggiani, 2005;Stock and Gress, 2006). However, in this study, no EPN was encountered in oak forests habitats.…”

Diversity and distribution of entomopathogenic nematodes (Nematoda: Steinernematidae, Heterorhabditidae) and their bacterial symbionts (γ-Proteobacteria: Enterobacteriaceae) in Jordan

“…The current finding of this species in a mixed coniferous forest expands the habitat range of this steinernematid. These findings are in agreement with reports from other surveys (Stock et al, 1999;Sturhan and Lišková, 1999;Stock and Gress, 2005), which also found the greatest diversity of EPN in woodlands and forest habitats.…”

Diversity of entomopathogenic nematodes (Nematoda: Steinernematidae, Heterorhabditidae) from Arasbaran forests and rangelands in north-west Iran

“…in rangelands, but especially so in forests. These findings are in agreement with reports of other surveys (Stock et al, 1999(Stock et al, , 2008Sturhan & Lišková, 1999;Stock & Gress, 2005) where the greatest diversity of EPN was found in woodland and forest habitats.…”
