Effect of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema Glaseri (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) isolate Santa Rosa on the biological parameters of engorged nymphs of Amblyomma Cajennense (Acari: Ixodidae)

This work evaluated the in vitro effects of Steinernema glaseri on the biology of engorged Amblyomma cajennense nymphs. The ticks were exposed to infective juveniles (IJs) of S. glaseri at different concentrations. Each treatment was composed by 10 experimental units (EU = repetitions) in Petri dish...
