Sununary - Morphologlcal characters and randomly amplified polymorphie DNA (RAPD) fragments were used for phylogenetic analysis in entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Sleinernema. The phylogenetic relationships of Sleinemema species based on different suites of data were not congruent. We found that RAPD fragments were an effective means of differentiating species, but the divergence among species at this level was so great that these fragments may provide little information about the…

Phylogenetic relationships of Steinernema Travassos, 1927 (Nematoda: Cephalobina: Steinernematidae) based on nuclear, mitochondrial and
morphological data
- BiologySystematic Parasitology
- 2005
Parsimony mapping of morphological characters on the 3-gene trees showed that most structural features of steinernematids are highly homoplastic, and the distribution of nematode foraging strategies on these trees predicts that S. hermaphroditum, S. diaprepesi and S. longicaudum have cruise forager behaviours.

Interpretation of morphological character evolution on 6 trees inferred from sequence data and combined evidence suggests that many structural features of these nematodes are highly homoplastic, and that some structures previously used to hypothesize relationships represent ancestral character states.
Phylogenetic relationships of entomopathogenic nematodes (Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae) inferred from partial 18S rRNA gene sequences.
- BiologyJournal of invertebrate pathology

It is suggested that the partial 18S rRNA gene sequences may be too conserved for phylogenetic inference among Heterorhabditis species, but are well suited for phylogenetics inference within and among closely related families and genera of entomopathogenic nematodes.

GENETIC VARIATION AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ISOLATES AND SPECIES OF THE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODE GENUS HETERORHABDITIS DECIPHERED THROUGH ISOZYME PROFILES

Pairwise distance analysis revealed that genetic divergence among populations of H. bacteriophora is relatively independent of geographic distance, and trees constructed using different phylogenetic methods showed a relatively close genetic relationship between H. megidis and H. zealandica.
Molecular characterisation of novel isolates of entomopathogenic nematodes
- Biology
- 2016
The BLAST analysis of the ITS region of the rDNA of the steinernematid isolate PAL10 showed a rather low similarity of 93% with S. vulcanicum, supporting the possible designation of a new species, but the description of the new species would need further morphometric characterisation, morphologically identification and cross-breeding studies.
Intraspecific variation among isolates of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae from Bull Island, Ireland

Assessment of the fitness, with regards to fecundity, host insect mortality and time taken to produce progeny, of isolates of Steinernema feltiae from Bull Island, Ireland finds that following the crossbreeding of all isolates in Galleria mellonella, the number of host cadavers exhibiting emerging infective juveniles was significantly fewer than expected and there were significant differences between isolate in the numbers of days until progeny were observed.

The use of the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique is examined to determine if a valid cladistic character analysis could be carried out by direct comparison of RAPD products separated on ethidium bromide-stained agarose gels, and absence phenotypes arising from the apparent absence of corresponding loci are demonstrated.
