The Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Nematodes on the Pink Bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella

Abstract

The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use.

Virulence of Entomopathogenic Nematodes and their Symbiotic Bacteria against Insect Pests, with Special Reference to Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): A Comprehensive Review.

“…In another study, S. carpocapsae (Black Sea isolate) exhibited the highest mortality rate of the alfalfa pest Holotrichapionpullum (Coleoptera: Apionidae), followed by S. feltiae (Aydin isolate) and then H. bacteriophora (Aydin isolate) (Atay and Kepenekci, 2015). Later on, full-grown larvae of P. gossypiella were more susceptible to S. riobrave than to H. bacteriophora (Shairra et al, 2016). The EPN S. glaseri was more pathogenic than H. indica against 3 rd instar larvae of the brinjal ash weevil Myllocerus subfasciatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Nithiskarani et al, 2019).…”
