Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, background): “…taxa that have shown potential in biological control, the 1599 entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN), Rhabditida: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae, have 1600 been most successful and have received the most attention (Grewal et al., 2005a), and therefore 1601 constitute the focus in this article.”
Global distribution of entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema and Heterorhabditis (2020, background): “…and Heterorhabditidae Poinar Jr, 1975 are the two important nematode families, which have drawn attention throughout the world as they have proven promising biocontrol agents of agriculturally important insect pests of soil, foliar, and cryptic habitats (Askary, 2010; Askary and Abd-Elgawad, 2017).”
An overview on the natural enemies of Rhynchophorus palm weevils, with focus on R. ferrugineus (2014, background): “Indeed, researchers are exploring the potential of nematodes to manage harmful insects, mollusks, plant nematodes and even soil-borne plant pathogens (Grewal et al., 2005).”
