Massive occurrence and identification of the nematode Alloionema appendiculatum Schneider (Rhabditida: Alloionematidae) found in Arionidae slugs in Slovenia

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2010
In the period from June to October 2008 we collected 500 slugs from the genus Arion in the area of Ljubljana and Prekmurje (Slovenia). By means of dissection we determined the presence of parasitic nematodes in slug cadavers.

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

Gastropod-derived haemocyte extracellular traps entrap metastrongyloid larval stages of Angiostrongylus vasorum, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Troglostrongylus brevior [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Phagocyte-derived extracellular traps (ETs) were recently demonstrated mainly in vertebrate hosts as an important effector mechanism against invading parasites.

Natural variation in host-finding behaviour of gastropod parasitic nematodes (Phasmarhabditis spp.) exposed to host-associated cues

Journal of Helminthology, 2021
The gastropod parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has been formulated into a successful biological control agent (Nemaslug®, strain DMG0001) used to kill slugs on farms and gardens. When applied to soil, P.

A discrete slug population model determined by egg production [PDF]

, 2002
Slugs are significant pests in agriculture (as well as a nuisance to gardeners), and it is therefore important to understand their population dynamics for the construction of efficient and effective control measures.

Possibilities of the Alternative Management of Mollusk Pests in Agricultural Crops. A Review. [PDF]

, 2021
Introduction: Mollusks are important pests of agricultural crops, for which chemical mosquitoes are used in many cases that pollute the environment and crops.

Dynamics of a structured slug population model in the absence of seasonal variation [PDF]

, 2006
We develop a novel, nonlinear structured population model for the slug Deroceras reticulatum, a highly significant agricultural pest of great economic impact, in both organic and non-organic settings. In the absence of seasonal variations, we numerically

Gastropod-Borne Helminths: A Look at the Snail-Parasite Interplay. [PDF]

, 2015
More than 300 million people suffer from a range of diseases caused by gastropod-borne helminths, predominantly flatworms and roundworms, whose life cycles are characterized by a diversified ecology and epidemiology. Despite the plethora of data on these

Organic slug control using Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita [PDF]

, 2006
Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a lethal slug parasitic nematode that has been formulated into an effective biological control agent called Nemaslug®. We investigated the possibility of using different application methods of P.
