Abstract/Contents:"This study describes the basic ecological characteristics of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema scarabaei (Rhabditida Steinernematidae) that was originally isolated from epizootics in scarab populations in New Jersey turfgrass areas. Under laboratory conditions, S. scarabaei infected a limited range of insect species and appeared best adapted to scarab larvae as hosts. It uses a widely ranging foraging strategy with a low attachment rate to mobile hosts on the soil surface but with excellent infection of sedentary host placed at ≥2 cm soil depth. It has wide thermal activity rate with optimum infectivity from 17.5 to 25°C. Because of its foraging strategy and adaptation to scarab larvae as hosts, S. scarabaei has outstanding potential for the control of scarab pests."
