Chemotactic Responses of Slug-Parasitic Nematodes to Barley Root-Emitted Volatile Organic Compounds

Agronomy
Slug-parasitic nematodes are promising biological control agents against gastropod pests, yet their responses to cereal root volatiles remain poorly understood. We evaluated the chemotactic behavior of Phasmarhabditis papillosa, Oscheius myriophilus, and

Chemotactic Responses of Slug-Parasitic Nematodes to Potato-Tuber-Emitted Volatile Organic Compounds

Agronomy
Parasitic nematodes play a vital role in soil ecosystems, contributing to natural pest suppression. Among them, slug-parasitic species such as Phasmarhabditis papillosa (Schneider) Andrassy, Oscheius myriophilus (Poinar), and Oscheius onirici Torrini et ...

First Report on the Effect of Aqueous Extracts of Hungarian Organic Mulch Materials on Entomopathogenic and Slug-Parasitic Nematodes [PDF]

Acta Phytopathologica et Entomologica Hungarica, 2019
Few researches address the compatibility of organic mulching and entomopathogenic (EPN) and slug-parasitic (SPN) nematodes, although organic mulching may provide favourable conditions for these beneficial organisms.

DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL PARASITIC NEMATODES TO CONTROL SLUGS IN AGRICULTURE [PDF]

Nematology, 2022
Terrestrial gastropods are highly pestiferous and pose a significant global threat to sustainable agriculture, horticulture and floriculture. Current control methods rely on metaldehyde formulated bait pellets. However, metaldehyde can harm non target organisms and cause environmental pollution. Metaldehyde is also due to be banned for use in the UK by

Toxicity of essential oils to slug parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes [PDF]

Journal of Pest Science, 2020
AbstractEssential oils are being increasingly utilised as a biorational element in integrated pest management regimes. Whereas there has been much research on the effects of these oils on mortality and behaviour of pestiferous molluscs, insects and nematodes, there has (to the present authors’ knowledge) been no research into their effects on the ...

Behavioural avoidance by slugs and snails of the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita [PDF]

Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2016
The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has been developed as a biological control agent for slugs and snails. Slugs avoid areas where P. hermaphrodita is present. We investigated whether behavioural avoidance of P. hermaphrodita is a common feature of slugs and snails by exposing eight species to P. hermaphrodita.

Prevalence and parasite load of nematodes and trematodes in an invasive slug and its susceptibility to a slug parasitic nematode compared to native gastropods

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2020
The invasive slug Arion vulgaris (Gastropoda: Arionidae) is an agricultural pest and serious nuisance in gardens of Central and Northern Europe. To investigate if the success of A.vulgaris in Norway can be attributed to a release from parasites, we compared the prevalence and parasite load of nematodes and trematodes in A.

Avoidance and attraction behaviour of slugs exposed to parasitic nematodes

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2023
Avoidance of pathogens and parasites is the first line of defense to survive. Several slug species avoid the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita to reduce infection however, there is nothing known about whether slugs avoid other members of the Phasmarhabditis genus.

Immune-Related Gene Profiles and Differential Expression in the Grey Garden Slug Deroceras reticulatum Infected with the Parasitic Nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita. [PDF]

Insects
The grey garden slug (Deroceras reticulatum), a common terrestrial slug native to Europe with a global distribution including North America, is commonly considered the most severe slug pest in agriculture. The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, which has been used in the U.K.
