Les genres de la famille des Anguinidne (Netnafoda : Tylenchida) L’auteur redéfinit la famille des Angzzinidae ; celle-ci comprend les genres Anguina Scopoli, 1777, Noflzangzzinn Whitehead, 1959, Afrina g. nov., Orrina g. nov., Szzbanguina Paramonov, 1968, Dif~lenchzzs Filipjev, 1936, Nofhofylenchus Thorne, 1941, et. Dipfenchus Khan, Chawla 62 Seshadri, 1969. Paranguznn Kirjanova, 1955 et Cynipanguina Maggenti, Hart & Paxman, 1974 sont c.onsidérés comme synonymes mineurs d’Anguinn. Anguinn poophila Kirjanova, 1952 est synonymisé avec A. ngrosfis Steinbuch, 1799. Nofhtrngzzinn cecidoplasfes Goodey, 1934 est. la seule espèce retenue dans le genre Nofhanguina.

A l’int&ieur des Anguinidae la complexité de la structure de la gonade femelle parait être en relation avec le degré d’adaptat,ion au parasitisme. Paramonov (1962) considered t!he Anguininae and Ditylenchus when they regarded Subanguina a subfamily of Tylenchidae, and c.haracterised as synonymous with Anguina. In 1974, the new this subfamily by the large number of oogonia genus Cynipanguina Maggenti, Hart & Paxman, and sexual dimorphism. He included the genera 1974, was proposed. Anguina Scopoli, 1777, Paranguina Kirjanova, Siddiqi (1971) recognised the subfamilies 1955, and Nothnnguina Whitehead, 1959. Later Anguininae, Pseudhalenchinae and Syc.hnot,y- on, the genus Subangnina Paramonov, 1968, chinae within t.he Anguinidae. However, Geraert was added. While recognising close afflnities and Kheiri (1970) studied the two known species between Anguina and Dit,ylenchus Filipjev, 1936, of PseudhaZenchus Tarjan, 1958, and found that Paramonov (1962, 1970) placed the latter in P. nzinutus, t.he type species, is closer to Tylen- Tylenchinae.

  • Two New Nematode Genera, Safianema (Anguinidae) and Discotylenchus (Tylenchidae), with Descriptions of Three New Species
    Proc. Helminthol. Soc. Wash. 47(1), 1980, p. 85-94 Two New Nematode Genera, Safianema (Anguinidae) and Discotylenchus (Tylenchidae), with Descriptions of Three New Species MOHAMMAD RAFIQ SIDDIQI Commonwealth Institute of Helminthology, St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England ABSTRACT: Safianema gen.n. is proposed under Anguininae, family Anguinidae. It differs from Di- tylenchus in having esophageal glands forming a long diverticulum over the intestine. It is compared with Pseudhalenchus whose diagnosis is amended. Safianema lutonense gen.n., sp.n. is described from peaty soil under oak in Luton, England. Safianema anchilisposomum (Tarjan, 1958) comb.n., S. damnatum (Massey, 1966) comb.n., and S. hylobii (Massey, 1966) comb.n. are proposed for species previously in Pseudhalenchus. Discotylenchus gen.n. is close to Filenchus but has a strongly tapering lip region with a distinct disc at the apex. Two new species of this genus are described—D. discretus (type species) from apple and cabbage soils at Damascus, Syria, and D. attenuatus from bush soil at Ibadan, Nigeria. From peaty soil underneath an oak tree at Luton Hoo, Luton, Bedfordshire, England, Safianema lutonense gen.n., sp.n. was collected by my daughter Safia Fatima Siddiqi; the new genus is named after her and the name is neuter in gender. Discotylenchus gen.n. is proposed under Tylenchidae for two new species, D. discretus (type species) and D. attenuatus, described below. The families Anguinidae and Tylenchidae were defined and differentiated from each other by Siddiqi (1971). Thus the genera Ditylenchus Filipjev, 1936 and Tylenchus Bastian, 1865 which were associated together under Tylenchidae for a long time were separated into two families, the former genus belonging to Anguinidae and the latter to Tylenchidae.

  • Nematode, Ditylenchus, Stem and Bulb, Meloidogyne, Root Knot
    BIOLOGY AND CONTROL OF STEM AND ROOT KNOT NEMATODES r Becky B. Westerdahl1 Abstract: Plant parasitic nematodes are nonsegmented-microscopic roundworms which are frequently present in alfalfa fields. Although more than 10 different genera have been found in alfalfa fields in California, two (stem and bulb, and root knot) are most commonly associated with damage. A management plan to fit a particular growing situation should be developed using a combination of techniques including: planting site selection, certified seed, clean equipment, weed and irrigation management, resistant varieties, crop rotation, fallow, organic amendments and chemical nematicides. Ke~words nematode, Ditylenchus, stem and bulb, Meloidogyne, root knot, INTRODUCTION Plant parasitic nematodes are nonsegmented-microscopic roundworms which are frequently present in alfalfa fields. Whether or not alfalfa is to be planted in a nematode infested area, a grower should be knowledgeable about nematodes. If nematodes are present, both pre and postplant management strategies should be developed for pathogenic species. If an alfalfa field or a potential planting site is not infested, a grower should be aware of techniques available to prevent the introduction of harmful species. For growers to carry on a nematode pest management program they need to be familiar with (1) nematode biology; (2) symptoms and signs of nematode f damage; (3) how nematodes injure plants; (4) how to sample for nematodes; and (5) the principles underlying various management techniques including: planting site selection, the use of certified seed, the importance of using clean equipment and irrigation water, weed management, the use of resistant varieties, crop rotation, fallow, organic amendments, and chemical nematicides.

  • Biodiversity of Compost Mesofauna and Its Potential As an Indicator of the Composting Process Status
    ® Dynamic Soil, Dynamic Plant ©2011 Global Science Books Biodiversity of Compost Mesofauna and its Potential as an Indicator of the Composting Process Status Hanne Steel* • Wim Bert Nematology Unit, Department of Biology, Ghent University, K.L. Ledeganckstraat 35, 9000 Ghent, Belgium Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT One of the key issues in compost research is to assess the quality and maturity of the compost. Biological parameters, especially based on mesofauna, have multiple advantages for monitoring a given system. The mesofauna of compost includes Isopoda, Myriapoda, Acari, Collembola, Oligochaeta, Tardigrada, Hexapoda, and Nematoda. This wide spectrum of organisms forms a complex and rapidly changing community. Up to the present, none of the dynamics, in relation to the composting process, of these taxa have been thoroughly investigated. However, from the mesofauna, only nematodes possess the necessary attributes to be potentially useful ecological indicators in compost. They occur in any compost pile that is investigated and in virtually all stages of the compost process. Compost nematodes can be placed into at least three functional or trophic groups. They occupy key positions in the compost food web and have a rapid respond to changes in the microbial activity that is translated in the proportion of functional (feeding) groups within a nematode community. Further- more, there is a clear relationship between structure and function: the feeding behavior is easily deduced from the structure of the mouth cavity and pharynx. Thus, evaluation and interpretation of the abundance and function of nematode faunal assemblages or community structures offers an in situ assessment of the compost process.

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).

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. Distribution, Helicotylenchus, Heterodera, Idaho, Meloidogyne, Mesocriconema, population density, potato, Pratylenchus, survey, Tylenchorhynchus, USA. INTRODUCTION and cropping systems in Idaho are highly conducive for nematode multiplication. Information concerning the revious reports have described the association of occurrence and distribution of nematodes in Idaho is plant-parasitic nematode species associated with important to assess their potential to cause economic damage P several crops in the Pacific Northwest (Golden et al., to many crop plants.
