How many nematodes per 100cm3 of grassland soil?
Above 2000
1 of 21
What are entomopathogenic nematodes?
Those that are parasitic on insects
2 of 21
Use of Entomopathogenic nematodes?
Mass produced and sold as pest control
3 of 21
Example in which insect the nemotodes have multiplied in in the practical
Galleria Mellonella (wax moth larvae)
4 of 21
How do Entomopathogenic nematodes use the larvae?
Associated with bacteria held in its mouthparts (acting as vector), bacteria kills host larvae and then nematodes feed/multiply on insect cadavar
5 of 21
What determines the type of nematode?
The mouth pats
6 of 21
Benefits of parasitic pest control
Unlikely to become resistant as they are natural emenies and unharmful to environment
7 of 21
Define Parasitoids
Uses and kills host in the end
8 of 21
Percentage of Hymenoptera that are parasitoids?
about 50%
9 of 21
2 example of insect parasitoids
Cotesia glomerata (butterfly larvae) and Aphelinus Abdomnalis (Aphid)
10 of 21
Information on Cotesia Glomerata - A biocontrol
Same order as honey bees, search out caterpillers, lay eggs inside the larvae which develop inside without killing it, until they emerge fully grown
11 of 21
Information about the Mosquito (Latin, order, body structure)
Culicidae, Order Diptera, 1 pair of wings, blood through Labium, compound eye
12 of 21
Information about the Flea (Latin, Order, body structure)
Pulex irritans, Order Siphonaptera, similar to Mosquito, blood through labium, have lateral ocellus
13 of 21
How many parasitic plants are there?
About 4000 from 20 families
14 of 21
Define Holo or Hemi parasite?
Holo - No chlorophyll, completely parasitic, Hemi - Some degree photosynthetic
15 of 21
Obligate or Facultative parasite?
Obligate - can't complete life cycle without host, Facultative, host independent but prefered
16 of 21
Stem or Root Parasite?
Attach to stem or Root
17 of 21
Whats a haustorium?
Modified root that penetrates host
18 of 21
3 examples of parasite plants
Dodder Root parasite (Cuscuta Eurpeae), Rafflesia Arnoldii Holoparasite,Mistletoe (Viscum album) Stem hemi parasite
19 of 21
Example and Explanation of key species
Mistletoe (Viscum album) - a group whose impact on ecosystem is dis-proportionally large compared to its abundance
20 of 21
Percentage of flowering plants that are parasitic?
1%
