Full TextAbstract
A survey of entomopathogenic nematodes was conducted in the Iran. Out of a total of 194 soil samples, 9 were positive for an isolate of entomopathogenic nematodes from Steinernema genus . Morphological and molecular studies as well cross hybridization tests were undertaken to characterization .This isolate identified as Steinernema feltiae. ITS sequences confirmed this. 16S rRNA sequenc and phenotypic characters of its symbiotic bacterium were determined and used for identification.In phylogenetic analysis, relationship among different isolates of native Steinernema were indicated.Laboratory test on Spodoptera exigua showed high pathogenecity of thise entomopathogen.
