The Role of Ascorbate–Glutathione System and Volatiles Emitted by Insect-Damaged Lettuce Roots as Navigation Signals for Insect and Slug Parasitic Nematodes [PDF]
Insects, 2023 The effect of wireworm-damaged lettuce roots on the antioxidative defense system (ascorbate–glutathione cycle, photosynthetic pigments) and movement of insect/slug parasitic nematodes towards determined root exudates was studied in a glasshouse ...

Microbiome dynamics associated with the infection of grey field slugs by the biocontrol nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe facultative-parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has been used for many years as a biological control agent targeting slug pests. During the nematode’s infection process, the presence of certain bacteria has been suggested to affect the ...

Nematode associates and susceptibility of a protected slug (Geomalacus maculosus) to four biocontrol nematodes [PDF]
, 2017 The impact of selected entomopathogenic nematodes and Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita on the European-Union-protected slug Geomalacus maculosus and the sympatric Lehmannia marginata was investigated. There was no significant difference in mortality between
