GABA-like immunoreactivity (GABAli) was initially localized to small neurons in the buccal, cerebral, and pedal ganglia in the terrestrial slug
Limax maximus (Cooke and Gelperin, 1988).
Two other species of the family Limacidae are reported in Brazil,
Limax maximus Linnaeus, 1758 e Lehmannia valentiana (Ferussac, 1822) (THOME & GOMES, 2011).
Different species of land snails and slugs namely Cyclophorus sp., Acusta despecta, Achatina fulica, Satsuma mercatoria (snails) and
Limax sp., Deroceras varians, Phiomycus billineatus, (slugs) from Kadena AB Okinawa Japan were studied for parasitic infection (Asato, 1974).
However, other types of terrestrial molluscs such as
Limax maximus,
Limax flavus, and Bradybaena similaris were also found naturally infected (Graeff-Teixeira et al., 1993).
In order to avoid this limitation, the
LiMAx (liver maximum function capacity) test was introduced.
The ash grey slug, also known as
Limax cinereoniger, and the whire arion, right, are just two of the many slugs we see in our gardens.
The leopard slug, aka
Limax maximus, might be worth leaving alone as it is carnivorous and will eat other slugs
The leopard slug,
Limax maximus, be worth leaving as it is carnivorous will eat other slugs
To our knowledge, Tennessee only has four reported introduced species of terrestrial gastropods (Cepaea nemoralis, Oxychilus cellarius, Opeas pyrgula,
Limax maximus; www.explorer.natureserve.org; Dundee, 1974) so the existence of a fifth introduced species would be significant.
