“…Along with the presence of appropriate hosts, the impact of such factors on EPN survival and dispersal might explain the distribution of nematodes in habitats differing in plant communities or soil parameters [ 123 , 124 ]. Some insects can also serve as phoretic dispersers, such as the beetle Calosoma granulatum , recently shown to be capable of transporting Heterorhabditis amazonensis over long distances (over 40 cm) [ 125 ]. Recently, attention has been focused on the dispersal of IJs in groups, rather than as individuals [ 126 , 127 ].…”

Entomopathogenic nematodes from the two genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis are widely used as biological agents against various insect pests and represent a promising alternative to replace pesticides. Efficacy and biocontrol success can be enhanced through improved understanding of their biology and ecology. Many endogenous and environmental factors influence the survival of nematodes following application, as well as their transmission success to the target species. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the major topics currently considered to affect transmission success of these biological control agents, including interactions with insects, plants and other members of the soil biota including conspecifics.

HIGHLIGHTS• Lauro Travassos in 1927 created genus Steinernema.• Two new species of entomopathogenic nematodes were described.• Studies on ecology, biology, production, formulation and application of native species have been carried out since 2000. ABSTRACT:In Brazil, the first study with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) was conducted by Lauro Travassos in 1927, when he created the genus Steineria, that latter was changed to Steinernema. After important meetings and courses, there was a great development of EPNs research in various states by different research groups in Brazil. Many EPN species were isolated throughout the country and two new species described: Heterorhabditis amazonensis and Steinernema brazilense. The behavioral aspects, life cycle and pathogenicity of native EPNs were analyzed. Also their persistence and survival in the soil and the biotic and abiotic factors that may affect their efficiency as biocontrol agents. Due to the particular native species characteristics, production, formulation and application technologies were developed for them. Here in we summarize main Brazilians studies in different areas using EPNs. This is the first review on the subject in Brazil.Keywords: biology, ecology, behavior, production, formulation.Cite as Dolinski C, Monteiro C, Andaló V, Leite LG.
