Genetic Transformation of an Entomopathogenic Nematode by Microinjection
TL;DR: The transcription of the hsp16/lacZ transgenes resulted in the rapid synthesis of detectable levels of beta-galactosidase, which opens new avenues for genetic modification of entomopathogenic nematodes.

Thermal response of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora transformed with the Caenorhabditis elegans hsp70 encoding gene.
TL;DR: The observations establish that overexpression of hsp70 A gene resulted an enhanced thermotolerance in the transgenic nematodes, which displayed normal growth and development.

Biological Characteristics of the Entomopathogenic Nematode Heterorhabditis Sp. Is-5: a Heat Tolerant Isolate From Israel
TL;DR: Entomopathogenic nematode isolate (IS-5), from under the canopy of fruit trees in the arid "Negev" region of Israel was found to be highly tolerant to temperatures above 30°C and heat shock treatment enhanced the survival of IS-5 juveniles to 43% as compared with non heat-shocked control.

Polymorphism in heat shock protein gene (hsp70) in entomopathogenic nematodes (rhabditida)
TL;DR: The observation establishes a unique correlation between geographical distribution and polymorphisms for hsp 70 A gene in these nematodes, which is the first report on the identification of any hSp 70 gene in entomopathogenic nematode species.

Genetic Diversity in Insect-Parasitic Nematodes (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae)☆
Ghazala Hashmi,Randy Gaugler +1 more
TL;DR: Genetic variability within and among isolates of seven Heterorhabditis species using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers was determined and the banding patterns produced by RAPDs positively correlated with described morphological classification; however, H. hawaiiensis could not be separated from H. indicus, or H. marelatus from Hiliaryius.
