Worldwide Dissemination and Importance of the Root-Knot Nematodes, Meloidogyne Spp Worldwide Dissemination and Importance of the Root-knot Nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. r J. N. SASSEW Abstract: Root-knot nematodes are widely distributed throughout the world. Their distribution and economic importance are purported to be related to biological and environmental factors favorable 1o Meloidogyne spp. A scheme for comparing Meloidogyne spp. with two other genera of diverse biological characteristics is presented to support this hypothesis. It is further suggested that a probability index can be developed to predict the likelihood of a given nematode species being transported, established, and becoming economically important ill regions of the world where it does not already occur.

  • A Revision of the Family Heteroderidae (Nematoda: Tylenchoidea) I
    A REVISION OF THE FAMILY HETERODERIDAE (NEMATODA: TYLENCHOIDEA) I. THE FAMILY HETERODERIDAE AND ITS SUBFAMILIES BY W. M. WOUTS Entomology Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Nelson, New Zealand The family Heteroderidae and the subfamilies Heteroderinae and Meloidoderinae are redefined. The subfamily Meloidogyninae is raised to family Meloidogynidae. The genus Meloidoderita Poghossian, 1966 is transferred to the family Meloidogynidae.Ataloderinae n. subfam. is proposed and diagnosed in the family Heteroderidae. A key to the three subfamilies is presented and a possible phylogeny of the family Heteroderidae is discussed. The family Heteroderidae (Filipjev & Schuurmans Stekhoven, 1941) Skar- bilovich, 1947 was proposed for the sexually dimorphic, obligate plant parasites of the nematode genera Heterodera Schmidt, 1871 and T'ylenchulu.r Cobb, 1913. Because of differences in body length of the female, number of ovaries, position of the excretory pore and presence or apparent absence of the anal opening they were placed in separate subfamilies; Heteroderinae Filipjev & Schuurmans Stek- hoven, 1941 and Tylenchulinae Skarbilovich, 1947. Independently Thorne (1949), on the basis of sexual dimorphism, proposed Heteroderidae to include Heterodera and Meloidogyne Goeldi, 1892; he considered the short rounded tail of the male and the absence of caudal alae as family charac- ters, and included Heteroderinae as the only subfamily. Chitwood & Chitwood ( 1950) ignored sexual dimorphism and based the family on the heavy stylet and general characters of the head and the oesophagus of the adults. They recognised as subfamilies Heteroderinae, Hoplolaiminae Filipjev, 1934 and the new subfamily Nacobbinae. Skarbilovich (1959) re-emphasized sexual dimorphism as a family character and stated that "It is quite illegitimate for the [previous] authors to assign the subfamily Hoplolaiminae to the family Heteroderidae".

Although a 35% population increase is projected by 2050. Significant improvements are consequently necessary in terms of resource use efficiency. In moving crop yields towards an efficiency frontier, optimal pest and disease management will be essential, especially as the proportional production of some commodities steadily shifts. With this in mind, it is essential that the full spectrums of crop production limitations are considered appropriately, including the often overlooked nematode constraints about half of all nematode species are marine nematodes, 25% are free-living, soil inhabiting nematodes, I5% are animal and human parasites and l0% are plant parasites. Today, even with modern technology, 5-l0% of crop production is lost due to nematodes in developed countries. So, the aim of this work was to review some agricultural nematodes genera, species they contain and their management methods. In this review work the species, feeding habit, morphology, host and symptoms they show on the effected plant and management of eleven nematode genera was reviewed.

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).

The objective of this method development study was to compare different primer sets to identify the most suitable primer set for the metabarcoding of nematodes without initial nematode extraction. We tested four primer sets for amplicon sequencing: JB3/JB5 (mitochondrial, I3-M11 partition of COI gene), SSU_04F/SSU_22R (18S rRNA, V1-V2 regions), and Nemf/18Sr2b (18S rRNA, V6-V8 regions) from earlier studies, as well as MMSF/MMSR (18S rRNA, V4-V5 regions), a newly developed primer set.

    SHORT COMMUNICATIONS 433 Among other nematodes, root-knot specimens were collected from wheat ro.ots var. Capeiti, C38290. They were identified as M. artiellia Franklin, 1961. This root-knot nematode was first reported and described from England on cabbage grown in sandy loam in Norfolk. Other hosts noted by Franklin are oats, barley, wheat, kale, lucerne, pea, ciover and broad bean. All stages off the nematode were found. Second stage larvae were collected from soil samples and from egg masses. Males were found partly or completely within root tissue producing small knots of abnormal, dark coloured cells (Fig. 3), and were .often seen near or around the partly embedded females. The mature females were flask or pear-shaped with neck tapering t.o a small head, and smooth, rounded posterior part with terminal vulva and annulated region around the tail. The perineal patterns were similar to those described by Franklin (1961) and Whitehead (1968) for artiellia (Figs. 1, 2). Measurements. 5 Q Q: L = 640 p (611-675); width = 432 JL (357-458), dorsal oesophageal gland orifice 4.6 a behind stylet base; vulva = 21 p (20-22). Stylet = 14.3 JL. 10 eggs = 95 JL (90-99) X 40 p (40-40.3). 8 8 : L = 872-1090 ,u; width = 27.25-30.6 p. a = 32.3-35; b = 11-14.3; c = 80-83; stylet = 21.8-23.2 it; spicules 25-27 ,a; dorsal oesophageal gland orifice 5.2 p behind stylet base. Many mature females were found only partly embedded in the root and covered completely by the gelatinous sac even before the eggs are laid.
