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).

This nematode was first found in the United States in 1909 and subsequently found in numerous states, where it was primarily found in wheat but also in rye to a lesser extent (PERAL, 2015). Modern agricultural practices, including use of clean seed and crop rotation, have all but eliminated A. tritici in countries which have adopted these practices, and the nematode has not been found in the United States since 1975 (PERAL, 2015). However, A. tritici is still a problem in third world countries where such practices are not widely adapted (SON, n.d.).

The purpose of the NPDRS is to ensure that the tools, infrastructure, communication networks, and capacity required to minimize the impact of high consequence plant disease outbreaks are available so that a adequate level of crop production is maintained. Each disease-specific plan is intended to provide a brief primer on the disease, assess the status of critical recovery components, and identify disease management research, extension, and education needs. These documents are not intended to be stand-alone documents that address all of the many and varied aspects of plant disease outbreaks and all of the decisions that must be made and actions taken to achieve effective response and recovery. They are, however, documents that will help the USDA to further guide efforts toward plant disease recovery.

(London) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE FACULTY OF SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. Department of Zoology and Applied Entomology Imperial College at Silwood Park Imperial College of Science and Technology AshursE Lodge Sunninghill Ascot Berkshire: ENGLAND September, 1980. 11 ABSTRACT Isolates of Anguina tritici from Australia, England, India, Iraq and U.S.A. were maintained on spring wheat. Measurements of males and females and second stage juveniles (J2) showed consistent morphometric differences between some isolates. Host range studies on species and varieties of Triticwn and AegiZops indicated an ability to infect a wide range of hosts of which 9 were new records. Infection studies on naturally infected wheat revealed that the growing point was invaded by the second stage juveniles shortly after flower induction. Artificial inoculation of wheat plants showed that the infective stage needed an association with the flower primordia for at least 24 days (latent period) for galling to be initiated. Further studies were made on the effect of temperature on invasion and distribution of galls in artificially inoculated heads. The histopathology of infection and subsequent gall development was observed. J2 invaded the primordia of either one stamen only (outer anther), ovary only or both to form the gall. The J2 survived in the soil for 250 days in the absence of a host, and some could still infect and form galls after 225 days. J2 from all isolates could not survive for more than 40 days in aerated water.

Their current taxonomic status and classification is given, which is not always in agreement with that applied in Fauna Europaea or recent publications. Recently used synonyms are included and comments on the species status are sometimes added. Species originally described from Germany are particularly marked, presence of types and other voucher specimens in the German Nematode Collection - Terrestrial Nematodes (DNST) is indicated; likewise potential occurrence or absence of species in field soil and similar cultivated land is noted. Species known from indoor plants and only occasionally observed outdoors are listed separately. Synonymies and species considered as species inquirendae are listed in case records refer to Germany; records and identifications considered as doubtful are also listed. In a separate section notes on a number of genera and species are added, taxonomic problems are indicated, and data on morphology, distribution and habitat of some recently discovered species and of still unidentified or undescribed species or populations are given. Longidorus macroteromucronatus is synonymised with L. poessneckensis. Paratrophurus striatus is transferred as T. casigo nom. nov., comb. nov. to the genus Tylenchorhynchus. Neotypes of Merlinius bavaricus and Bursaphelenchus fraudulentus are designated.

    Soil Nematodes in Terrestrial Ecosystems ~ G

    JOURNAL OF NEMATOLOGY VOLUME ll JULY 1979 NUMBER 3 Soil Nematodes in Terrestrial Ecosystems ~ G. W. YEATES 2 Abstract: There has been much work on plant-feeding nematodes, and less on other soil nema- todes, their distribution, abundance, intrinsic properties, and interactions with biotic and abiotic factors. Seasonal variation in nematode fauna as a whole is correlated with factors such as moisture, temperature, and plant growth; at each site nematode distribution generally reflects root distribution. There is a positive correlation between average nematode abundance and primary production as controlled by moisture, temperature, nutrients, etc. Soil nematodes, whether bacterial feeders, fungivores, plant feeders, omnivores, or predators, all influence the populations of the organisms they feed on. Ahhough soil trematodes probably contribute less than 1% to soil respiration they may play an important role in ntttrient cycling in the soil through their influence on bacterial growth and plant nutrient availability. Key Wo~ds: ecology, energetics, microcosms, nutrient cycling, primary production. Nematodes, as one component of the soil nematode populations are more likely to be ecosystem, interact with biotic and abiotic ill equilibrium, albeit dynamic, with their factors, producing economic crop losses enviromnent, than in cultivated fields where but also having many other effects, largely conditions are subject to more drastic unknown. The role of the nematode com- changes.

  • The Plant-Parasitic Nematode Songbook Anthology

    The Plant-Parasitic Nematode Songbook Anthology

    THE PLANT-PARASITIC NEMATODE SONGBOOK ANTHOLOGY LYRICS BY KATHY MERRIFIELD I wrote the three volumes of The Plant-Parasitic Nematode Songbook in the late 1980s and early 1990s during work on an MS in Nematode Diseases of Plants and then as a research assistant with Professor Russ Ingham at Oregon State University. These included Volume I: Serious Music for Serious Pests, Volume II: More Serious Music for Serious Pests, and Volume III: Camp Songs. The melodies were hand-written on staff paper; the lyrics were also hand- written. Each of the three volumes existed as comb-bound hard copies. When my supply of hard copies ran low, I replaced them with The Plant-Parasitic Nematode Songbook Anthology, which was also produced as comb-bound hard copies. The lyrics were computer-printed, and the melodies were omitted. As in this digital version, I figured that most people don’t read music, so it really wouldn’t help much. Besides, many of the melodies are familiar. Maybe melodies can be added in the future – maybe even computer generated so they’re legible. The Anthology contained three new songs in addition to those from the first three volumes. These were cowboy songs from the forthcoming Volume IV: Cowboy Songs. Volume IV has now been forthcoming for about twenty years. PROCESSIONAL Melody: Kahinto Kamya, Processional (Camp Fire Girls) -- by Helen Gerrish Hughes, © Camp Fire, 1954 We dig the soil from our random design With measured tread and slow Because this stand is in deep decline Because it's infested with nematodes Nematodes, nematodes We harvest nematodes out of the soil With measured water and slow It's worth the hours of grueling toil To find parasitic nematodes Nematodes, nematodes We count a thousand samples a day With measured fingers and slow Our eyeballs twirl and our brains decay Because we've seen so many nematodes Nematodes, nematodes *********************************** Helen Gerrish Hughes was born Abbie Gerrish in 1863.
