Abstract: EPN surveys carried out in Italy point out the presence of a high number of species if compared with other European and Mediterranean countries. Adding up the total, 106 EPN isolates belonging to 8 species were collected from about 1,500 soil samples in 20 years: 38 strains of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1976 (Rhabditida, Heterorhabditidae), 39 Steinernema feltiae (Filipjev, 1934), 11 S. affine (Bovien, 1937), 4 5. kraussei (Steiner, 1923), 8 5. apuliae (Triggiani, Mracek & Reid. 2004), 3 S. ichnusae (Tarasco, Mracek, Nguyen & Triggiani, 2008), 2 S. carpocapsae (Weiser, 1955) and 2 Steinernema sp. Of the 5. arenarium (Artyukhovsky. 1967) group (Rhabditida. Steinernematidae). 5. kraussei was isolated only in the chestnut groves around the Etna Vulcano on Sicily; 5. apuliae and S. ichnusae are new species so far only found in Italy.
Could be Italy considered a favorite place in Europe for EPN biodiversity?
