Soil survey of indigenous strains of entomopathogenic nematode was conducted in 42 provinces of Thailand between June 1996 to March 1998. A total of 306 soil samples were extracted using Galleria baiting technique. The nematodes were recovered from 9 out of 42 locations (21.4 percent). The identification using morphological characteristics of infective-stage juveniles and adults revealed 8 isolates of Steinernematidae : Steinernema sp. and 1 isolate of Heterorhabditidae : Heterorhabditis sp. The nematodes were collected from central plains at the temperature range of 24-27 deg C (10-15 cm deep from soil surface) and 29-37 deg C (at soil surface) and they were heat-tolerant isolates from Thailand.
