Abstract | 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. I exposed two slug species (Deroceras invadens and Limax maculatus) to Phasmarhabditis californica and P. neopapillosa. D. invadens avoided P. californica but was strangely attracted to P. neopapillosa. L. maculatus did not avoid P. californica, but on day 1 and 3 significantly more slugs were found with P. neopapillosa. Reasons for host attraction to P. neopapillosa are discussed. |
