摘要
The one-on-one bioassay was developed using Steinernema carpocapsae (All) nematodes against the wax moth larva, Galleria mellonella. The assay was used to develop and compare virulence profiles of both in vitro- and in vivo-produced nematodes and to provide a quality assessment 'standard' for in vitro-produced nematodes. The bioassay was subsequently used to develop virulence profiles for Steinernema carpocapsae (UK), S. feltiae (UK), S. feltiae (R1.5), S. feltiae (SN), S. glaseri (NJ-43), and S. riobrave (RGV). These profiles are unique for each species and isolate and are used as a standard of virulence in routine quality assessment of nematodes produced in liquid fermentation. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
