Microbiome dynamics associated with the infection of grey field slugs by the biocontrol nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita

The facultative-parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has been used for many years as a biological control agent targeting slug pests. During the nematode’s infection process, the presence of certain bacteria has been suggested to affect the pathogenicity and efficiency of the nematodes i...
