Susceptibility of Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) to entomopathogenic fungi.
The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) is one of the most serious pest of fruits in Syria and present all year round. This fly is active on different host plants, such as mango, peach, fig, apple, pear, and citrus. The number of generations per year varies with local temperatures and host plant. The objective of this research was: to evaluate the pathogenicity of entomopatho...

The potential for entomopathogenic nematodes to control ßies in cattle feedlots was determined by screening 40 strains representing 8 species of Heterorhabditis Poinar and 5 species of Steinernema Travassos for virulence toward 3rd-instar house ßies (maggots), Musca domestica L. None of the 22 strains of Heterorhabditis infecting maggots caused signiÞcant levels of mortality in a Þlter paper as...

متن کاملSoil sampling and isolation of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernematidae, Heterorhabditidae).
Entomopathogenic nematodes (a.k.a. EPN) represent a group of soil-inhabiting nematodes that parasitize a wide range of insects. These nematodes belong to two families: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae. Until now, more than 70 species have been described in the Steinernematidae and there are about 20 species in the Heterorhabditidae. The nematodes have a mutualistic partnership with Entero...
متن کاملThe influence of insecticides on the viability of entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) under laboratory conditions.
BACKGROUND In order to increase our knowledge on the susceptibility of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species to agrochemicals, the compatibility of the infective juveniles (IJs) of the EPN (Steinernema and Heterorhabditis) with eight chemical and bio-insecticides was investigated under laboratory conditions. The effect of direct IJ exposure to insecticides for 6 and 24 h was tested in a Petri...
