Abstract/Contents: | "Under optimal temperatures, entomopathogenic nematodes release their bacteria upon host entry; killing the insect within 24 to 48 hr. We hypothesize that 1) low temperatures induce latency in the infection process, 2) that this latency provides a means for entomopathogenic nematodes to overwinter within the host and 3) On warming, the normal infection process resumes. Galleria mellonella were infected with 50 infective juveniles of Steinernema carpocapsae, S. riobrave, S. scapterisci, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and H. megidis at 10°C. All species demonstrated establishment, that resulted in mortalities on warming at 25°C after 20 days at 10°C. The effect was examined in more detail using Heterorhabditis bacteriophora to infect G. mellonella, Popillia japonica and Exomala orientalis larvae at 25, 15, 10, and 5°C and incubated for 3, 10, 25, and 35 days. These data lends support to our hypothesis on entomopathogenic nematode overwintering strategies." |
