“…Early studies evaluated the virulence of Steinernema feltiae Filipjev (formerly Neoplectana carpocapsae) (Alikhan et al 1985) and S. carpocapsae Weiser (Wójcik 1986) against adults of S. granaries. Various studies have also been conducted for the evaluation of the virulence of EPNs against the stored grain pest T. castaneum (Ramos-Rodríguez et al 2006) and the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum (Alikhan et al 1985;Athanassiou and Kavallieratos 2010;Rumbos and Athanassiou 2012). Larvae of T. castaneum were highly susceptible to three steinernematid species, i.e., S. feltiae, S. carpocapsae, and S. riobrave, whereas for pupae and adults, susceptibility was speciesdependent (Ramos-Rodríguez et al 2006).…”

Six heattolerant Pakistani nematode strains also showed successful results against T. castaneum larvae and adults (Shahina and Salma 2010; 2011).…”

Grain commodities, like cereals and legumes, are subject to insect infestation during postharvest processing and storage. Public concerns about the potential risks that derive from the consumption of pesticide-treated commodities have created interest for the development and integration in stored product protection of alternative, ecologically safe methods for the disinfestation of stored commodities. The present study was conducted to evaluate the biocontrol potential of four entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs): Steinernema pakistanense (LM-07), S. bifurcatum (LM-30), S. affinae (GB-14), and S. cholashanense (GB-22) against adult beetles of Tribolium confusum (Jac.) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Rhyzopertha dominica (Fab.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) under laboratory conditions. Suspensions of nematodes were applied at three different concentrations, 50, 100, and 150 IJs/beetle in 1 ml of distilled water at three different temperatures, 20, 25, and 30°C. Mortality was recorded after 3 days of application. The concentration of 150 IJs/beetle achieved a maximum mortality of 100% for S. pakistanense at 30°C. The same concentrations revealed that all four species of EPN were able to cause mortal effects depended on temperature and concentrations. S. pakistanense (LM-07) and S. bifurcatum (LM-30) were the most effective at 150 IJs/beetle at 30°C and S. affinae (GB-14) and S. cholashanense (GB-22) at the same concentration at 20°C.

Dalotia coriaria (Kraatz) (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) and entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae) are two soil-dwelling biological control agents used to manage western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and fungus gnats Bradysis spp. (Diptera: Sciaridae) in glasshouses. Growers often use multiple natural enemies to achieve economic control, but knowledge of interactions among natural enemies is lacking. We conducted a laboratory bioassay to test the pathogenicity of four commercially available nematode species—Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (Rhabditida: Heterorhbditidae), Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), S. feltiae (Filipjev), and S. riobrave Cabanillas et al.—to third instar and adult D. coriaria. Third instars were three times more susceptible than the adults to the entomopathogenic nematodes. Mortality for D. coriaria adults and third instars treated with S. feltiae and H. bacteriophora was lower than the mortality for D. coriaria adults and third instars treated with S. carpocapsae and S. riobrave. Neither infective juvenile foraging behavior nor size correlates with D. coriaria mortality. Dalotia coriaria appears to be most likely compatible with applications of S. feltiae and H. bacteriophora.

“…Currently, infection by Steinernema feltiae (Filipjev, 1934) (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), the parasite used in this study, is only lethal for larvae and pupae of T. castaneum; with the highest mortality recorded for adults ca. 40% (Ramos-Rodríguez et al, 2006). This difference may indicate that adult individuals allocate more resources to immune defence against either the nematodes or their bacterial symbionts.…”
