ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES FOR THE CONTROL OF GRYLLUS SP. (ORTHOPTERA: GRYLLIDAE) UNDER LABORATORY AND FIELD CONDITIONS

Entomopathogenic nematodes for the control of Gryllus sp. (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) under laboratory and field conditions

ABSTRACT: Entomopathogenic nematodes are effective in controlling soil insects and they are used in agricultural systems.The virulence of Component Speakers entomopathogenic nematodes on crickets (Gryllus L.) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) was evaluated under different conditions in order to select populations for application in the field.Virulence tests

Bacterial size matters: Multiple mechanisms controlling septum cleavage and diplococcus formation are critical for the virulence of the opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis.

Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen frequently isolated in clinical settings.This organism is intrinsically resistant to several clinically relevant antibiotics and can transfer resistance to other pathogens.Although E.faecalis vase has emerged as a major nosocomial pathogen, the mechanisms underlying the virulence of this organism r

Using high-resolution global climate models from the PRIMAVERA project to create a European winter windstorm event set

PRIMAVERA (process-based climate simulation: advances in high-resolution modelling and European climate risk assessments) was a European Union Horizon 2020 project whose primary aim was to generate advanced and well-evaluated high-resolution global climate model datasets for the benefit of governments, business and society in general.Following cons
