Phasmarhabditis californica is a nematode in the family Rhabditidae. It is a lethal facultative parasite of terrestrial gastropods (slugs and snails).[1]
Distribution
First found in invasive slugs in the USA by Tandingan De Ley et al 2016,[1] also known from New Zealand. Carnaghi et al 2017 finds P. california in Ireland, parasitising a slug endemic to Atlantic Europe, Geomalacus maculosus.[2]
