Zusammenfassung: | Describes the finding of a nematode parasitising Deroceras reticulatum in NZ that was identified by morphological and molecular (18S rDNA sequencing) methods as P. Hermaphrodita. Notes that in NZ the European invasive slug D. reticulatum is a pest in home gardens, horticulture, pastoral and arable agriculture and, at present, there are no biological control options available.
