Distribution of Xiphinema Americanum and Related Species in North America 1 Journal of Nematology 25(3):344-348. 1993. © The Society of Nematologists 1993. Distribution of Xiphinema americanum and Related Species in North America 1 R. T. ROBBINS 2 Abstract: All species of the Xiphinema americanum-group and their synonyms are listed. The North American species reported are listed by state or province. Among these species, X. rivesi has the most widely reported distribution. Six species (X. diffusum, X. floridae, X. laevistriatum, X. luci, X. shell, and X. tarjanense) have been reported from only Florida. The reports of X. pachtaicum, X. sheri, and X. luci did not include morphometrics and need to be confirmed; X. brevicolle from California was identified before Lamberti and Bleve-Zacheo described 15 new species in 1979 and similarly needs to be confirmed. Because of the proliferation of species in this group, reports of X. americanum (sensu stricto) before 1979 are questionable. Extraction techniques for longidorids are discussed. Key words: distribution, extraction, nematode, North America, Xiphinema americanum. In a symposium at the Second Interna- and Luc (15), plus the three new species tional Nematology Conference in 1990, I described by Lamberti et al. (11). Loof and presented information on the distribution Luc (15) considered five other species to be of the North American Longidoridae very close to the X. americanum group but (Longidorus, Paralongidorus, and Xiphinema) did not include them for various reasons (20).

    Journal of Nematology 21(4):517-523. 1989. © The Society of Nematologists 1989. Vector Capability of Xiphinema americanum sensu lato in California 1 JOHN A. GRIESBACH 2 AND ARMAND R. MAGGENTI s Abstract: Seven field populations of Xiphineraa americanum sensu lato from California's major agronomic areas were tested for their ability to transmit two nepoviruses, including the prune brownline, peach yellow bud, and grapevine yellow vein strains of" tomato ringspot virus and the bud blight strain of tobacco ringspot virus. Two field populations transmitted all isolates, one population transmitted all tomato ringspot virus isolates but failed to transmit bud blight strain of tobacco ringspot virus, and the remaining four populations failed to transmit any virus. Only one population, which transmitted all isolates, bad been associated with field spread of a nepovirus. As two California populations of Xiphinema americanum sensu lato were shown to have the ability to vector two different nepoviruses, a nematode taxonomy based on a parsimony of virus-vector re- lationship is not practical for these populations. Because two California populations ofX. americanum were able to vector tobacco ringspot virus, commonly vectored by X. americanum in the eastern United States, these western populations cannot be differentiated from eastern populations by vector capability tests using tobacco ringspot virus. Key words: dagger nematode, tobacco ringspot virus, tomato ringspot virus, nepovirus, Xiphinema americanum, Xiphinema californicum. Populations of Xiphinema americanum brownline (PBL), prunus stem pitting (PSP) Cobb, 1913 shown through rigorous test- and cherry leaf mottle (CLM) (8).

  • Tomato Ringspot Virus
    -- CALIFORNIA D EP ARTM ENT OF cdfaFOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ California Pest Rating Proposal for Tomato ringspot virus Current Pest Rating: C Proposed Pest Rating: C Realm: Riboviria; Phylum: incertae sedis Family: Secoviridae; Subfamily: Comovirinae Genus: Nepovirus Comment Period: 6/2/2020 through 7/17/2020 Initiating Event: On August 9, 2019, USDA-APHIS published a list of “Native and Naturalized Plant Pests Permitted by Regulation”. Interstate movement of these plant pests is no longer federally regulated within the 48 contiguous United States. There are 49 plant pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes) on this list. California may choose to continue to regulate movement of some or all these pathogens into and within the state. In order to assess the needs and potential requirements to issue a state permit, a formal risk analysis for Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV) is given herein and a permanent pest rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: Tomato ringspot virus is widespread in North America. Despite the name, it is of minor importance to tomatoes. However, it infects many other hosts and causes particularly severe losses on perennial woody plants including fruit trees and brambles. ToRSV is a nepovirus; “nepo” stands for nematode- transmitted polyhedral. It is part of a large group of more than 30 viruses, each of which may attack many annual and perennial plants and trees. They cause severe diseases of trees and vines. ToRSV is vectored by dagger nematodes in the genus Xiphinema and sometimes spreads through seeds or can be transmitted by pollen to the pollinated plant and seeds. ToRSV is often among the most important diseases for each of its fruit tree, vine, or bramble hosts, which can suffer severe losses in yield or be -- CALIFORNIA D EP ARTM ENT OF cdfaFOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ killed by the virus.

Nematodes are belongs to animal kingdom, they are triploblastic, unsegmented, bilateral symmetrical, pseudocoelomateandhaving well developed reproductive, nervous, excretoryand digestive system where as the circulatory and respiratory systems are absent but govern by the pseudocoelomic fluid. Plant Nematology: Nematology is a science deals with the study of morphology, taxonomy, classification, biology, symptomatology and management of {plant pathogenic} nematode (PPN). The word nematode is made up of two Greek words, Nema means thread like and eidos means form. The words Nematodes is derived from Greek words ‘Nema+oides’ meaning „Thread + form‟(thread like organism ) therefore, they also called threadworms. They are also known as roundworms because nematode body tubular is shape. The movement (serpentine) of nematodes like eel (marine fish), so also called them eelworm in U.K. and Nema in U.S.A. Roundworms by Zoologist Nematodes are a diverse group of organisms, which are found in many different environments. Approximately 50% of known nematode species are marine, 25% are free-living species found in soil or freshwater, 15% are parasites of animals, and 10% of known nematode species are parasites of plants (see figure at left). The study of nematodes has traditionally been viewed as three separate disciplines: (1) Helminthology dealing with the study of nematodes and other worms parasitic in vertebrates (mainly those of importance to human and veterinary medicine).

  • STUDIES on XIPHINEMA AMERICANUM SENSU LATD with DESCRIPTIONS of FIFTEEN NEW SPECIES (NEMATODA, LONGIDORIDAE) by Lima
    ~emat~mfli't (1979), 7 51-106. Laboratorio di Nematologia Agraria del C.N.R. - 70126 Bari, Italy STUDIES ON XIPHINEMA AMERICANUM SENSU LATD WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF FIFTEEN NEW SPECIES (NEMATODA, LONGIDORIDAE) By FRANCO LAMBERTI AND TERESA BLEVE-ZACHEO Lima (1965) was the first to hypothesize that Xiphinema ameri­ canum Cobb, 1913 was a complex of different species in which he listed X. americanum, X. brevicolle Lordello et Da Costa, 1961, X. opisthohysterum Siddiqi, 1961 and four undescribed species (Lima, 1968). One of them was later described as X. mediterraneum Martelli et Lamberti, 1967 (Lamberti and Martelli, 1971) and recently synon­ ymized with X. pachtaicum (Tulaganov, 1938) Kirijanova, 1951 (Sid­ diqi and Lamberti, 1977). The morphometrical variability in X. ame­ ricanum was also studied by Tarjan (1968) who, after having examined 75 world-wide collected populations, concluded that the species status of X. brevicolle, X. opisthohysterum and Lima's Mediterranean species, presently X. pachtaicum, was justified but that all the other variations he had observed should be considered as geographical variants, cor­ related with climatic influences, within the X. americanum complex (Tarjan, 1969). In 1974 Heyns stated that «demarcation of species within the group is problematical and unsatisfactory although several of the species proposed by Lima seem to be justified ». Because of the importance of X. americanum as a vector of some plant viruses (Taylor and Robertson, 1975) we thought it useful to carry out studies which would clarify the identity of several popu­ lations from different geographical locations and establish the re­ lationships with this and the other related species.

This group includes 51 nominal species throughout the world. They are very difficult to identify by traditional taxonomic methods. Despite its importance in agriculture, the species composition of this group in many countries, including Chile, remains unknown. In order to identify the species in the central valley of Chile, we studied the morphological, morphometric and molecular diversity of 13 populations. Through classical taxonomic methods two species, X. inaequale and X. peruvianum, were identified with clear differences in the shape of the lip region. The DNA sequences of the ITS of ribosomal genes revealed divergences in the nucleotide sequences of the two species from 7.3% in ITS1 to 14.7% in ITS2. These results confirmed the presence of two distinct species, namely X. peruvianum and X. inaequale, in the northern and southern parts of the central valley of Chile, respectively. PCR-RFLP was developed for rapid species identification of these two species. Keywords – molecular, morphology, morphometrics, taxonomy, Xiphinema californicum, Xiphinema inaequale, Xiphinema peruvia- num. The Xiphinema americanum-group comprises 51 nom- nologies has opened a new spectrum of possibilities in ne- inal species found all over the world (Lamberti et al., matode taxonomy.

Lazarova,1 Gaynor Malloch,2 Claudio M.G. Oliveira,3 Judith Hübschen,4 Roy Neilson2 Abstract: The 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and cytochrome oxidase I region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were sequenced for 24 Xiphinema americanum-group populations sourced from a number of geographically disparate locations. Sequences were sub- jected to phylogenetic analysis and compared. 18S rDNA strongly suggested that only X. pachtaicum, X. simile (two populations) and a X. americanum s.l. population from Portugal were different from the other 20 populations studied, whereas mtDNA indicated some heterogeneity between populations. Phylogenetically, based on mtDNA, an apparent dichotomy existed amongst X. americanum- group populations from North America and those from Asia, South America and Oceania. Analyses of 18S rDNA and mtDNA sequences underpin the classical taxonomic issues of the X. americanum-group and cast doubt on the degree of speciation within the X. americanum-group.

  • Review on Nematode Molecular Diagnostics: from Bands to Barcodes
    Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3208 (Paper) ISSN 2225-093X (Online) Vol.4, No.27, 2014 Review on Nematode Molecular Diagnostics: From Bands to Barcodes Alemu Nega Department of Horticulture and Plant Science, Jimma University, P. O. Box 307, Jimma, Ethiopia Email Address: [email protected] Abstract Molecular methods of identification provide accurate, reliable diagnostic approaches for the identification of plant-parasitic nematodes. The promising and attractive results have generated increasing demands for applications in new fields and for better performing techniques. Initially, the techniques were used solely for taxonomic purposes, but increasingly became popular as a component of diagnostic information. Diagnostic procedures are now available to differentiate the plant-pathogenic species from related but non-pathogenic species. The microscopic size of plant parasitic nematodes poses problems and techniques have been developed to enrich samples to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on individual species. In addition, techniques are available to evaluate single nematodes, cysts or eggs of individual species in extracts from soil and plant tissue. DNA or RNA-based techniques are the most widely used approaches for identification, taxonomy and phylogenetic studies, although the development and use of other methods has been, and in some cases still is, important. DNA barcoding and the extraction of DNA from preserved specimens will aid considerably in diagnostic information. In addition, further review is needed to identify all recovered nematode and evaluation of promising treatments for use in integrated disease management strategy to manage not only regulated species such as the potato cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida, and root-knot nematode Meloidogyne.
