Toxicity of essential oils to slug parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes [PDF]
Journal of Pest Science, 2020 Essential 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 ...

Natural variation in chemoattraction in the gastropod parasitic nematodes Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, P. neopapillosa and P. californica exposed to slug mucus [PDF]
Nematology, 2018 Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a lethal parasite of several slug species and has been formulated into a biological control agent for farmers and gardeners. Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita responds to slug faeces, mucus and volatile cues to find hosts in

Journal of Pesticide Science, 2017 The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is the only commercial biological control agent for terrestrial slugs. We investigated whether the predicted conditions of winter warming could have any effect on its performance.

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.

Zootaxa, 2016 Phasmarhabditis bonaquaense n. sp. is described and illustrated from the body of Malacolimax tenellus, from the locality of České Švýcary near the village of Dobrá Voda, the Czech Republic. Females are characterized by a body length of 2349 (1878–2626) µm and a cupola shaped tail with a long hyaline hair-like tail tip.

Terrestrial Slugs in Neotropical Agroecosystems
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 Slugs can be important agricultural pests in tropical regions. They are also intermediate hosts of parasitic nematodes, such as Angiostrongylus costaricensis and A.

DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL PARASITIC NEMATODES TO CONTROL SLUGS IN AGRICULTURE [PDF]
Nematology, 2022 Summary Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a lethal parasite of several slug species and has been formulated into a biological control agent for farmers and gardeners. Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita responds to slug faeces, mucus and volatile cues to find hosts in soil. However, these results have only focused on one strain of P.

Cepaea nemoralis (Linnaeus, 1758) uses its shell as a defence mechanism to trap and kill parasitic nematodes [PDF]
, 2016 Slugs and snails are parasitised by a range of organisms including nematodes, bacteria, microsporidia, mites and flies (Barker, 2004). Of these, the nematodes are the most numerous and diverse as 108 species have evolved to parasitise molluscs (Grewal et

Helminths associated with terrestrial slugs in Swedish agricultural fields [PDF]
Journal of Helminthology, 2023 Slugs are important agricultural pests causing yearly yield losses. However, parasitizing helminths potentially could affect the size of the slug population.
