(Nematoda: Mermithidae) Infection in South Carolina Agricultural Pests.

Native and invasive stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and the closely related invasive (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) are agricultural pests in the southeastern United States. Natural enemies, from various phyla, parasitize these pests and contribute to population regulation. We specifically investigated Nematoda infections in pentatomid and plataspid pests in one soybean field in South Carolina in 2015.
