Abstract: | The nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora serves as a vector enabling its bacterial associate to reach the hemocoel of its host, the seventh-instar larva of Galleria mellonella. At 28.5°C, the LD50s of the orally introduced nematode-bacterial complex and the intrahemocoelically injected bacteria are three to six nematodes and one to two cells, respectively. |
