Biological control of mosquitoes with mermithids.

Mermithid nematodes parasitizing mosquitoes have substantial potential for vector control. Studies on the physiological ecology of Romanomermis culicivorax have defined some of the general requirements of mermithid nematodes and produced general guidelines for the experimental release of mermithids in biological control. Experimental field studies have established the biological control potenti...

Comparative Susceptibility of Larval Mosquitoes Exposed Separately by Instar or in Mixed Populations to the Nematode Romanomermis culicivorax.

The mermithid nematode Romanomeris culicivorax has been released many times to control natural populations of larval mosquitoes. Generally, infection levels resulting from such releases were highest in secondand third-instar and lowest in first-instar hosts when all instars were present in the habitat (1,3). This contrasts sharply with well.established results from laboratory studies which show...

Molecular characterization of lengthy mitochondrial DNA duplications from the parasitic nematode Romanomermis culicivorax.

Complete nucleotide sequences, precise endpoints and coding potential of several 3.0-kilobase mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) repeating units derived from two isofemale lineages of the mermithid nematode Romanomermis culicivorax have been determined. Endpoint analysis has allowed us to infer deletion and inversion events that most likely generated the present day repeat configuration. Each amplified ...

Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Divergence among Meloidogyne incognita, Romanomermis culicivorax, Ascaris suum, and Caenorhabditis elegans.

Mitochondrial DNA sequences were obtained from the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3 (ND3), large rRNA, and cytochrome b genes from Meloidogyne incognita and Romanomermis culicivorax. Both species show considerable genetic distance within these same genes when compared with Caenorhabditis elegans or Ascaris suum, two species previously analyzed. Caenorhabditis, Ascaris, and Meloidogyne were selected...
