Abstract: Highlights: [•] Virulence of EPN isolates against Bradysia odoriphaga differs between isolates. [•] Heat tolerance (40°C, 2h) differs between EPN species. [•] Cold tolerance (−5°C, 8h) differs between EPN species. [•] Survival of heat or cold-treated EPN is affected by time and IJ concentration. [•] Desiccation tolerance (25% glycerol, 25°C, 72h) differs between EPN species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
