Out of some isolated Heterorhabditis bacteriophora from Korea, ecological study on two isolates which had different geographical features was investigated. That is, effects of temperature and dose on the pathogenicity and reproduction of two Korean isolates of H. bacteriophora were investigated using Galleria mellonella larvae in the laboratory. The median lethal dose (LD∧50) decreased with increasing temperature, but increased at 35℃. The optimal temperatures for infection were 30℃ for H. bacteriophora Jeju strain and 24℃ for H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain. The median lethal time, LT∧50 of H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain was recorded at 13℃ to 35℃ and that of H. bacteriophora Jeju strain was recorded at 18℃ to 30℃. The number of established nematodes in G. mellonella larvae was significantly different depending on temperature and dose. When G. mellonella larvae were exposed to 300 infective juveniles (IJs), mortality of G. mellonella gradually increased with exposure time with H. bacteriophora Jeju strain but not with H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain. 87.5% mortality of G. mellonella was recorded by H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain after 1440 min whereas 100% mortality was recorded by H. bacteriophora Jeju strain after 4320 min. The time from infection to the first emergence of nematodes decreased with increasing temperature. Duration of emergence of the two strains in the White traps also decreased with increasing temperature. The highest progeny numbers of H. bacteriophora Jeju strain were 264,602 while those of H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain were 275,744 at the rate of 160 IJs at 24℃.
