    Importation of Fresh Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), Shelled or in Pods, from Jordan into the Continental United States A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment February 14, 2011 Version 2 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Beans from Jordan Executive Summary In this risk assessment we examined the risks associated with the importation of fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in pods (French, green, snap, and string beans) or shelled, from the Kingdom of Jordan into the continental United States. We developed a list of pests associated with beans (in any country) that occur in Jordan on any host based on scientific literature, previous commodity risk assessments, records of intercepted pests at ports-of-entry, and information from experts on bean production. This is a qualitative risk assessment, as we express estimates of risk in descriptive terms (High, Medium, and Low) rather than numerically in probabilities or frequencies. We identified seven quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway of introduction. We estimated Consequences of Introduction by assessing five elements that reflect the biology and ecology of the pests: climate-host interaction, host range, dispersal potential, economic impact, and environmental impact. We estimated Likelihood of Introduction values by considering both the quantity of the commodity imported annually and the potential for pest introduction and establishment. We summed the Consequences of Introduction and Likelihood of Introduction values to estimate overall Pest Risk Potentials, which describe risk in the absence of mitigation.

Acceplecl for publication 5 November 1996. Summary - In Argentina, soil nematodes constitute a diverse group of invertebrates. This widely distributed group incJudes more than twO hundred currently valid species, among which the plant-parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes are the most remarkable. The former includes species that cause damages to certain crops (mainly MeloicU:igyne spp, Nacobbus aberrans, Ditylenchus dipsaci, Tylenchulus semipenetrans, and Xiphinema index), the latter inc1udes various species of the Mermithidae family, and also the genera Steinernema and Helerorhabditis. There are few full-time nematologists in the country, and they work on taxonomy, distribution, host-parasite relationships, control, and different aspects of the biology of the major species. Due tO the importance of these organisms and the scarcity of information existing in Argentina about them, nematology can be considered a promising field for basic and applied research. Résumé - Les nématodes et l'agriculture en Argentine. Un aperçu général - Les nématodes du sol représentent en Argentine un groupe très diversifiè. Ayant une vaste répartition géographique, il comprend actuellement plus de deux cents espèces, celles parasitant les plantes et les insectes étant considèrées comme les plus importantes.

Its membership consists of those persons interested in basic or applied nematology, which is a branch of zoology dealing with nematode worms. The work of pioneer nematologists, demonstrating the economic importance of nematodes and the collective critical mass of interested nematologists laid the groundwork to form the Society of Nematologists (SON). SON was formed as an offshoot of the American Phytopathological Society (APS - see MS 175). Nematologists who favored the formation of a separate organization from APS held the view that the interests of SON were not confined to phytonematological problems and in 1958, D.P.

Surveys were conducted in Idaho, USA during the 2000-2006 cropping seasons to study the occurrence, population density, host association and distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with major crops, grasses and weeds. Eighty-four species and 43 genera of plant-parasitic nematodes were recorded in soil samples from 29 crops in 20 counties in Idaho. Among them, 36 species are new records in this region. The highest number of species belonged to the genus Pratylenchus; P. neglectus was the predominant species among all species of the identified genera. Among the endoparasitic nematodes, the highest percentage of occurrence was Pratylenchus (29.7) followed by Meloidogyne (4.4) and Heterodera (3.4). Among the ectoparasitic nematodes, Helicotylenchus was predominant (8.3) followed by Mesocriconema (5.0) and Tylenchorhynchus (4.8). Keywords.

  • Phylogenetic Implications of Phasmid Absence in Males of Three Genera in Heteroderinae 1 L
    Journal of Nematology 22(3):386-394. 1990. © The Society of Nematologists 1990. Phylogenetic Implications of Phasmid Absence in Males of Three Genera in Heteroderinae 1 L. K. CARTA2 AND J. G. BALDWINs Abstract: Absence of the phasmid was demonstrated with the transmission electron microscope in immature third-stage (M3) and fourth-stage (M4) males and mature fifth-stage males (M5) of Heterodera schachtii, M3 and M4 of Verutus volvingentis, and M5 of Cactodera eremica. This absence was supported by the lack of phasmid staining with Coomassie blue and cobalt sulfide. All phasmid structures, except the canal and ampulla, were absent in the postpenetration second-stagejuvenile (]2) of H. schachtii. The prepenetration V. volvingentis J2 differs from H. schachtii by having only a canal remnant and no ampulla. This and parsimonious evidence suggest that these two types of phasmids probably evolved in parallel, although ampulla and receptor cavity shape are similar. Absence of the male phasmid throughout development might be associated with an amphimictic mode of reproduction. Phasmid function is discussed, and female pheromone reception ruled out. Variations in ampulla shape are evaluated as phylogenetic character states within the Heteroderinae and putative phylogenetic outgroup Hoplolaimidae. Key words: anaphimixis, ampulla, cell death, Cactodera eremica, Heterodera schachtii, Heteroderinae, parallel evolution, parthenogenesis, phasmid, phylogeny, ultrastructure, Verutus volvingentis. Phasmid sensory organs on the tails of phasmid openings in the males of most gen- secernentean nematodes are sometimes era within the plant-parasitic Heteroderi- notoriously difficult to locate with the light nae, except Meloidodera (24) and perhaps microscope (18).

Handoo USDA-ARS, Plant Sciences Institute, Nematology Lab, Beltsville, MD 20705, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Carta, L. K., A. M. Skantar, and Z. A. Handoo. 2001. Molecular, morphological and thermal charac- ters of 19 Pratylenchus spp. and relatives using the D3 segment of the nuclear LSU rRNA gene. Nem- atropica 31:195-209. Gene sequences are provided for the D3 segment of the large subunit rRNA gene in Pratylenchus agilis, P. hexincisus, P. teres, and P. zeae. They were aligned with the closest comparable previously pub- lished molecular sequences and evaluated with parsimony, distance and maximum-likelihood meth- ods. Different outgroups and more taxa in this study compared to a previous D3 tree resulted in improved phylogenetic resolution. Congruence of trees with thermal, vulval and lip characters was evaluated. A tropical clade of Pratylenchus with 2 lip annules was seen in all trees. Maximum-Parsimony and Quartet-Puzzling Maximum-Likelihood trees, with ambiguously-alignable positions excluded and Radopholus similis as an outgroup, had topologies congruent with species possessing 2, 3 or 4 lip annules. An updated sequence for Pratylenchus hexincisus indicated it was an outgroup of P. penetrans, P. arlingtoni, P. fallax and P. convallariae. Pratylenchus zeae was related to P. neglectus in a Neighbor-Join- ing tree, but was equivocal in others. The relatives of P. teres were P. neglectus and Hirschmanniella belli rather than morphometrically similar P. crenatus.

Daday established this genus on a single female of H. tylenchiformis recovered from a mud hole on Banco Island, Paraguay in 1905 (Sher 1963, Krall 1990). Hoplolaimus species are distributed worldwide and cause damage on numerous agricultural crops (Luc et al. 1990Robbins et al. 1998). In 1992, Handoo and Golden reviewed 29 valid species of genus Hoplolaimus Dayday, 1905 (Handoo and Golden 1992). Siddiqi (2000) recognised three subgenera in Hoplolaimus: Hoplolaimus (Hoplolaimus) with ten species, is characterized by lateral field distinct, with four incisures, excretory pore behind hemizonid; Hoplolaimus ( Basirolaimus) with 18 species, is characterized by lateral field with one to three incisures, obliterated, excretory pore anterior to hemizonid, dorsal oesophageal gland quadrinucleate; and Hoplolaimus (Ethiolaimus) with four species is characterized by lateral field with one to three incisures, obliterated; excretory pore anterior to hemizonid, dorsal oesophageal gland uninucleate (Siddiqi 2000).
