Abstract

The present study was carried out in the different localities of the Meerut region between September 2020 and November 2021 for the collection of entomopathogenic nematodes of Gryllotalpa africana. Host insect G. africana was found to be infected with 12 species belonging to 6 different genera included in 2 subfamilies of superfamily Thelastomatoidea. A list of all 12 species with information about their family, genus and host, organized in a tabular form, has been provided. The main objective of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge about the G. africana nematodes and add some new information to the related areas
