Abstract
Plant-parasitic nematodes are important threat to agricultural crops. Management through biological control agents like endoparasitic bacteria, Pasteuria spp. has shown great promise. They occur worldwide and have been reported from a wide range of environment.A comprehensive understanding of the biology of Pasteuria spp. and their mechanism underlying nematode disease suppression may help to develop useful biocontrol agent against plant-parasitic nematodes. This review gives an account of the morphology, biology, parasitic mechanisms of Pasteuria spp and their potential uses.
Keywords: Plant-parasitic nematodes, endoparasitic nematodes, biological control, Pasteuria spp, biology and parasitism
