Nematology , 2005, Vol. 7(4), 637-640 Short communication Studies on a Pasteuria isolate from an entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema pakistanense (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) Harish K. B AJAJ ∗ and Kum Kum W ALIA Mycelial and endospore-forming bacteria belonging to the genus Pasteuria are obligate parasites of several plant- parasitic nematodes. Three species of this bacterium, Pas- teuria penetrans , P. thornei and P. nishizawae , parasites of Meloidogyne , Pratylenchus and Heterodera species, respectively, are being explored as biocontrol agents for the management of their specific nematode hosts. Ento- mopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are being increasingly advocated for the management of insect pests in several countries. As infective stages of EPN and plant-parasitic nematodes inhabit soil, concerns have been expressed about whether EPN are hosts of Pasteuria species, and whether a Pasteuria isolate can infect both plant-parasitic nematodes and EPN (Mohotti et al. , 1998; Somasekhar & Mehta, 2000). Soil samples analysed from the rhizosphere of Zizyphus jujuba from the horticultural farm of CCS Haryana Agri- cultural University, Hisar (India) for plant-parasitic nema- todes also revealed the presence of infective juveniles (IJ) of EPN ( Heterorhabditis indica and Steinernema pakista- nense ). Microscopic studies of IJ of S. pakistanense re- vealed
