A survey of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) was conducted for the first time in Nepal during June-December 2007. EPN were recovered from 29 of the 276 soil samples (10.50%). Molecular and morphological tools were used to identify the isolates. Among 29 positive samples, seven samples (24.14%) yielded heterorhabditids (Heterorhabditis indica) and 22 samples (75.86%) contained steinernematids. Among steinernematids, seven isolates were identified as one of four described species (Steinernema abbasi, S. cholashanense, S. feltiae and S. siamkayai) whereas 15 isolates did not fit any description. H. indica was recovered from diverse habitats. Distribution of steinernematids has followed ecological niches and localized areas.
2007 年 6 月至 12 月，在尼泊尔首次进行了昆虫病原线虫（EPN）调查。从 276 个土壤样本中回收了 29 个（10.50%）。使用分子和形态工具来鉴定分离株。在 29 个阳性样本中，有 7 个样本（24.14%）产生了异小杆线虫（Heterorhabditis indica），而 22 个样本（75.86%）含有斯氏线虫。在斯氏线虫中，有 7 个分离株被鉴定为四种描述物种之一（阿巴斯线虫、索氏线虫、嗜虫异小杆线虫和暹罗斯氏线虫），而 15 个分离株与任何描述都不相符。H. indica 从各种生境中回收。斯氏线虫的分布遵循生态位和局部区域。
