Some Anguina species are significant pests in trade, and because they often target specific grass hosts, certain cases once identified as A. agrostis on Festuca may be A. graminis. It spreads mainly through its galls on infested grass seed heads, which can be moved by wind, water, animals, or contaminated seed. When planted, the nematodes emerge from the galls and infect new plants.
