Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Nematodes as suppressors and facilitators of plant performance
Summary Plant–nematode interactions are mainly considered from the negative aspect with a focus on plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs), which is justified considering the agronomic losses caused by PPNs. Despite the fact that PPNs are outnumbered by nonparasitic free‐living nematodes (FLNs), the functional importance of FLNs, especially with regard to ...

Abstract The recent invasion of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica Newman (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in northern Italy offered the opportunity to explore the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) associated with the soil of hay meadows. A total of 61 sites were considered for nematode sampling, and from 17 of them (27.9%) EPNs were isolated and further ...
