Figure 3. Different stages of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora colonization of Aedes aegypti larvae (3rd instar). H. bacteriophora within larvae at 2-day post inoculation (a), H. bacteriophora emerging out of larvae upon larval dissection at 7-day post inoculation) (b), adult H. bacteriophora within larvae along with large number of infective juveniles (IJs) released from another adult H. bacteriophora (c). Black arrows indicate adult H. bacteriophora, whereas green arrows indicate newly emerged IJs.
