Heterorhabditidae
''Heterorhabditis'' is a genus of nematodes belonging to the order Rhabditida. All species of this genus are obligate parasites of insects, and some are used as biological control agents for the control of pest insects. ''Heterorhabditis'' nematodes are hosts for the ''Photorhabdus'' bacterial symbiont. Species The recognized species in this genus are: * ''Heterorhabditis amazonensis'' Andaló, Nguyen & Moino, 2007 * ''Heterorhabditis bacteriophora'' Poinar, 1976 * ''Heterorhabditis baujardi'' Phan, Subbotin, Nguyen & Moens, 2003 * '' Heterorhabditis downesi'' Stock, Griffin & Burnell, 2002 * '' Heterorhabditis floridensis'' Nguyen, Gozel, Koppenhöfer & Adams, 2006 * ''Heterorhabditis georgiana'' Nguyen, Shapiro-Ilan and Mbata, 2008 * '' Heterorhabditis heliothidis'' (Khan, Brooks & Hirschmann, 1976) * ''Heterorhabditis indica'' Poinar, Karunakar & David, 1992 * ''Heterorhabditis marelatus'' Liu & Berry, 1996 * ''Heterorhabditis megidis'' Poinar, Jackson & Klein, 1987 * ''Hetero ...

Biological Pest Control
Biological control or biocontrol is a method of controlling pests, whether pest animals such as insects and mites, weeds, or pathogens affecting animals or plants by using other organisms. It relies on predation, parasitism, herbivory, or other natural mechanisms, but typically also involves an active human management role. It can be an important component of integrated pest management (IPM) programs. There are three basic strategies for biological control: classical (importation), where a natural enemy of a pest is introduced in the hope of achieving control; inductive (augmentation), in which a large population of natural enemies are administered for quick pest control; and inoculative (conservation), in which measures are taken to maintain natural enemies through regular reestablishment. Natural enemies of insects play an important part in limiting the densities of potential pests. Biological control agents such as these include predators, parasitoids, pathogens, and com ...

Parasites Of Insects
Parasitism is a Symbiosis, close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives (at least some of the time) on or inside another organism, the Host (biology), host, causing it some harm, and is Adaptation, adapted structurally to this way of life. The entomologist E. O. Wilson characterised parasites' way of feeding as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as Armillaria mellea, honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the Orobanchaceae, broomrapes. There are six major parasitic Behavioral ecology#Evolutionarily stable strategy, strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), wikt:trophic, trophicallytransmitted parasitism (by being eaten), ...
