Is Phasmarhabditis papillosa (Nematoda: Rhabditidae) a possible biological control agent against the Spanish slug, Arion vulgaris (Gastropoda: Arionidae)?
In the period from August to October 2018, 140 specimens of the Spanish slug, Arion
vulgaris, were collected from Podbrezje, Slovenia. Slugs were dissected and examined for …
