The capability of symbiotic bacteria of entomopathogenic nematodes against the termite, Microtermes mycophagus D. (Isoptera: Termitidae), was assessed. Different fractions of Pakistani isolates of entomopathogenic bacteria viz., Xenorhabdus indica strain (Pak.S.B.50), X. indica strain (Pak.S.B.56), X. stockiae strain (Pak.S.B. 65), and X. steinernematis strain (C.B.10) were assessed against M. mycophagus by direct contact method (spraying method) and sand assay in laboratory conditions. Mortality response of cell-free filtrates after 24 h at 20 °C for X. indica (Pak.S.B.50), T2 = X. indica (Pak.S.B.56), T3 = X. stockiae (Pak.S.B. 65), and T4 = X. steinernematis (C.B.10) ranged (88.3–100%) as 33 ± 9.34, 98.33 ± 6.22, 88.33 ± 7.22, and 100.00% ± 0.00, respectively. In the case of sand assay, the most effective treatment was T4, where (100%) mortality rate was recorded 24 h post application of B.S. (bacterial suspension) (4 × 104 CFU/ml) and CFF (cell-free filtrate) (100 μl/10 ml) at 20 and 25 °C.

针对白蚁Microtermes mycophagus D.的昆虫病原线虫细菌的评估（等翅目：mit科）

评估了昆虫病原线虫的共生细菌对白蚁Microtermes mycophagus D.（Isoptera：Termitidae）的抵抗力。巴基斯坦的致病性致病细菌菌株分别为Xenorhabdus indica菌株（Pak.SB50），X。indica菌株（Pak.SB56），X。stockiae菌株（Pak.SB 65）和X. steinernematis菌株（CB10）。在实验室条件下，通过直接接触法（喷洒法）和沙子测定法对支原体进行了评估。X. indica（Pak.SB50），T2 = X. indica（Pak.SB56），T3 = X. stockiae（Pak.SB 65）和T4 =嗜血杆菌（CB10）的范围（88.3–100％）为33±9.34、98.33±6.22、88.33±7.22和100.00％±0.00。对于沙试，最有效的治疗方法是T4，
