“…Three morphologically different colonies grew in the culture of water suspension of dead mussel from Sobrón reservoir, which were identified as Citrobacter braakii , Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Pseudomonas spp. These bacteria accumulated inside the zebra mussels may have caused their death in the aquarium, as has been observed by other authors for one species of Pseudomonas (Molloy et al ., 2013).…”

Summary To identify the free‐living amoeba (FLA) and amoeba‐resistant bacteria (ARB) accumulated in zebra mussels and in the water in which they are found, mussels were collected at two locations in the Ebro river basin (North East Spain). FLAs and bacteria were isolated from mussel extracts and from natural water. PCR techniques were used to identify the FLAs and endosymbiont bacteria (Legionella, Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas and cyanobacteria), and to detect Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The most frequently found FLAs were Naegleria spp. The presence of Legionella, Mycobacterium and Pseudomonas inside the FLA was demonstrated, and in some cases both Legionella and Pseudomonas were found together. Differences between FLAs and ARB identified inside the mussels and in the water were detected. In addition, Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp. and Enterococcus spp. were accumulated in mussels in concentrations unconnected with those found in water. The results show the ability of the zebra mussel to act as a reservoir of potentially pathogenic FLAs, which are associated with potentially pathogenic ARB, although the lack of association between microorganisms inside the mussels and in the water suggests that they are not useful for monitoring microbiological contamination at a specific time.

“…For instance, biopesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals are often used in biological control (biocontrol) of invasive species. A good example is Pseudomonas fluorescens strain CL145A, a biopesticide for the control of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) (Molloy et al 2013). Chemical control is the application of conventional chemical-based insecticides and herbicides, whereas examples of physical control are mechanical removal (e.g., mowing) and burning of invasive weeds.…”

“…The active ingredient is derived from killed cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens strain CL145A . Toxicity from P. fluorescens is due to a protein component of the cell wall (Molloy et al 2013b) that causes an inflammatory reaction and tissue damage in the stomach and digestive glands of dreissenid mussels (Molloy et al 2013c). Death likely results from lysis and necrosis of the digestive gland and sloughing of epithelial tissue from the stomach (Molloy et al 2013c) and may occur days to weeks after ingestion.…”

Chemical controls ranging from natural products to synthesized chemicals are widely used in aquatic pest management activities. Chemicals can be used to lure organisms to traps or can cause direct mortality by altering the physiological function of an organism. Much of what is known about controlling pests with chemicals is from research done on terrestrial pesticides. This paper focuses on how chemicals might be used as aquatic pesticides to control or eradicate aquatic invasive species. Current control tools are described, as are new technologies designed to selectively target the pest to reduce risks to nontarget organisms and the environment. Overview of Chemical Control in Aquatic Pest ManagementChemical controls are an integral part of an aquatic integrated pest management (IPM) plan. The high degree of efficacy, good availability, and generally low cost make them an attractive option for aquatic nuisance species control. Chemicals can be applied to achieve control in different ways. Pheromones, for example, may lure aquatic pests to traps to enhance removal efficiency. Selective biocides, such as the molluscicide Zequanox and the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM), may limit population growth through lethal endpoints. Enriching water with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) may function as a behavioral deterrent to prevent invasive species from moving upstream. Overall, chemicals have the potential to serve unique roles within fisheries management or pest management programs. An understanding of the individual mechanisms and modes of action is critical to the success and effectiveness of pesticide applications.Pesticides must have a high degree of toxicity toward their target yet must be fairly nontoxic toward humans and other nontarget species (Duke et al. 2010). In the developed world, pests are largely controlled by synthetic
