    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.

    Abstract Several slug species are highly pestiferous and threaten global sustainable agriculture. Current control methods rely heavily on metaldehyde pellets, which are often ineffective, harm nontarget organisms and have been banned in some countries. A viable alternative is the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita (and recently P. californica), which has been formulated into a biological control agent (Nemaslug®) to control slugs across northern Europe. Nematodes are mixed with water and applied to soil where they seek out slugs, penetrate behind the mantle and kill them in 4–21 days. Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has been on the market since 1994 and since then there has been ample research on its use. Here we review the research carried out on P. hermaphrodita over the last 30 years since its development and release as a commercial product. We provide information on life cycle, worldwide distribution, history of commercialisation, gastropod immunity, host range, ecological and environmental factors that affect its success in the field, bacterial relationships, and summarise results of field trials. Finally, we suggest future directions for P. hermaphrodita research (and other Phasmarhabditis species) to enhance its use as a biological control agent to control slugs for the next 30 years. © 2023 The Authors.

    Abstract Many terrestrial gastropods are pestiferous and pose a significant threat to agriculture, horticulture and floriculture. They are usually controlled by metaldehyde based pellets but an alternative control method is the slug parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, which has been formulated into a biological control agent (Nemaslug®) for use by farmers and gardeners to kill certain pestiferous slug species in 4-21 days. The current strain of P. hermaphrodita (called DMG0001) has been used in commercial production since 1994, but there is little information about the pathogenicity of wild strains of P. hermaphrodita towards slugs. Here, we exposed the pestiferous slug Deroceras invadens to nine wild isolated strains of P. hermaphrodita (DMG0002, DMG0003, DMG0005, DMG0006, DMG0007, DMG0008, DMG0009, DMG0010 and DMG0011) and the commercial strain (DMG0001) to three doses (0, 500 and 1000 nematodes per ml). Survival and feeding were recorded over 14 days. All wild P. hermaphrodita strains (other than DMG0010) and P. hermaphrodita (DMG0001), applied at 500 nematodes per ml, caused significant mortality to D. invadens compared to an uninfected control. Similarly, all P. hermaphrodita strains applied at 1000 nematodes per ml, caused significant mortality to D. invadens compared to an uninfected control. Overall, all wild P. hermaphrodita strains (other than DMG0011) caused significantly more mortality than P. hermaphrodita DMG0001 at one or both nematode concentrations. In summary, we have found some wild P. hermaphrodita strains were more virulent than P. hermaphrodita (DMG0001). Ultimately, these strains could potentially be developed as alternative, efficient biological control agents for use against slugs.

  7. Artikel: Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita – a new model to study the genetic evolution of parasitism

    Abstract The evolutionary genetic mechanisms that are responsible for the transition of free-living nematodes to parasites are unknown and current nematode models used to study this have limitations. The gastropod parasite Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita could be used as a new model to dissect the molecular mechanisms involved in the evolution of parasitism. Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a facultative parasite of slugs and snails that, like Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus, can also be maintained easily under laboratory conditions. Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and Phasmarhabditis species are easy to isolate from the wild and have been found around the world. The phylogenetic position of Phasmarhabditis is ideal for genomic comparison with other clade 9 species such as C. elegans and P. pacificus, as well as mammalian and insect parasites. These attributes could make P. hermaphrodita an excellent choice of model to study the evolutionary emergence of parasitism.

    Abstract Slugs and snails are agricultural pests usually controlled by chemical bait pellets however an alternative method is the commercially produced malacopathogenic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, which is sold across northern Europe. P. hermaphrodita can kill several slug species but is unable to affect larger pestiferous snails. Therefore, we examined whether the closely related species Phasmarhabditis californica, isolated from the U.K. could kill neonate or adult common garden snails (Cornu aspersum). In our first experiment, neonate C. aspersum were exposed to 1000 nematodes per tube containing three strains of P. californica (designated DMG0017, DMG0018 or DMG0019) (as well as the commercial formulation of P. hermaphrodita DMG0001) and feeding inhibition and survival were monitored over 14 days. All nematodes apart from P. californica (DMG0017) killed the snails and caused feeding inhibition. In a follow up experiment we exposed adult C. aspersum to two doses (30 and 90 nematodes per cm²) of P. californica (DMG0019) and P. hermaphrodita (DMG0001) and monitored survival, feeding inhibition and changes in weight over 21 days. Neither nematode species affected survival, feeding inhibition or weight of the adult snails. In summary, P. californica (DMG0018 and DMG0019) are as pathogenic as P. hermaphrodita (DMG0001) and could be used to target neonate snails, however, the use of malacopathogenic nematodes to control large adult snails continues to be problematic.

    Abstract Many vector mosquito species have evolved resistance to chemical insecticides and the search for novel biological control strategies warrants further attention. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) (Heterorhabditis and Steinernema spp.) have been developed as biological control agents for use against agricultural pests but whether they could be used to control aquatic mosquito larvae warrants further research. We exposed Aedes aegypti and Ochlerotatus detritus larvae to commercially available (Steinernema feltiae, S. carpocapsae, S. kraussei and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora) and wild isolated (S. affine and S. glaseri) EPNs and monitored survival over 7 days. We also exposed EPNs to water with a range of salinities and pHs found in the marshland habitats of British mosquitoes. Ae. aegypti and O. detritus were killed by commercial EPNs, but wild strains were unable to kill Ae. aegypti yet did kill O. detritus. All EPNs were capable of tolerating a wide range of pHs but showed variable tolerance to different salinities. EPNs could be used as an alternative to chemical insecticides but target species and habitat may influence choice of EPN strain in control operations.
