These possibilities of having the editors working alongside provide an efficient work in a shorter time. We definitely need to have these workshops periodically. The objectives of this workshop were: (i) to evaluate the work that has been done over the past three years and the maintenance of the database, (ii) to welcome the editors of terrestrial and fresh water nematodes, set clear goals, assign tasks and initiate the practical work related to new initiatives and (iii) to outline practices for outreach and scientific output for Nemys (e.g. scientific papers, presentations of the progress, plans and results at an upcoming conference). On the first day it was asked to have a rapporteur for each session in order to have it registered. The original minutes are on a separate document and were used to generate this report.

Box 38135/567, Arak, Iran †Nematology Research Department, Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection, Tehran, Iran ‡Agricultural Research and Natural Resources Centre of Khuzestan, Ahvaz, Iran 1Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Cereal cyst nematodes are one of the most important soil-borne pathogens of cereals throughout the world. This group of nematodes is considered the most economically damaging pathogens of wheat and barley in Iran. In the present study, a series experiments were conducted during 2007-2010 to determine the distribution and population density of cereal cyst nematodes and to examine the biology of Heterodera latipons in the winter wheat cv. Sardari in a microplot under rain-fed conditions over two successive years in Markazi province in central Iran. Results of field survey showed that 40% of the fields were infested with at least one species of either Heterodera filipjevi or H. latipons. H. filipjevi was most prevalent in Farmahin, Tafresh and Khomein, with H. latipons being found in Khomein and Zarandieh regions. Female nematodes were also observed in Bromus tectarum, Hordeum disticum and Secale cereale, which are new host records for H. filipjevi. Also, H. filipjevi and H. latipons were found in combination with root and crown rot fungi, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Fusarium culmorum, F.

  • A Key and Compendium to Species of the Heterodera Avenae Group (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) Zafar A
    Journal of Nematology 34(3):250–262. 2002. © The Society of Nematologists 2002. A Key and Compendium to Species of the Heterodera avenae Group (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) Zafar A. Handoo1 Abstract: A key based on cyst and juvenile characters is given for identification of 12 valid Heterodera species in the H. avenae group. A compendium providing the most important diagnostic characters for use in identification of species is included as a supplement to the key. Cyst characters are most useful for separating species; these include shape, color, cyst wall pattern, fenestration, vulval slit length, and the posterior cone including presence or absence of bullae and underbridge. Also useful are those of second-stage juvenile characteristics including aspects of the stylet knobs, tail hyaline tail terminus, and lateral field. Photomicrographs of diagnostically important morphological features complement the compendium.

During 2010-2012, a survey was conducted to determine the distribution and diversity of the cereal cyst nematodes (CCN), including Heterodera filipjevi, within the middle Volga River and South Ural regions of the Russian Federation. A total of 270 soil samples were collected. Seven populations of CCN were found in the rhizosphere area of various cereal plants that showed symptoms of nematode disease in Saratov and Chelyabinsk regions. The highest nematode population density was found in Chelyabinsk Region, with a mean density of 100 cysts (100 g soil)–1. The morphological and morphometric characteristics of these populations are presented showing variations in cyst body width, underbridge and vulval slit length, and in the vulva-anus distance. The morphometrics of second-stage juveniles showed minor differences between Saratov and Chelyabinsk populations compared with those of the paratypes and the population from the Republic of Bashkortostan (Bashkiria).

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.

  • Taxonomy Assignment Approach Determines the Efficiency of Identification of Metabarcodes in Marine Nematodes
    Taxonomy assignment approach determines the efficiency of identification of metabarcodes in marine nematodes Oleksandr Holovachov1, Quiterie Haenel2, Sarah J. Bourlat3 and Ulf Jondelius1 1Department of Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden 2Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Switzerland 3Department of Marine Sciences, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Abstract: Precision and reliability of barcode-based biodiversity assessment can be affected at several steps during acquisition and analysis of the data. Identification of barcodes is one of the crucial steps in the process and can be accomplished using several different approaches, namely, alignment-based, probabilistic, tree-based and phylogeny-based. Number of identified sequences in the reference databases affects the precision of identification. This paper compares the identification of marine nematode barcodes using alignment-based, tree-based and phylogeny-based approaches. Because the nematode reference dataset is limited in its taxonomic scope, barcodes can only be assigned to higher taxonomic categories, families. Phylogeny-based approach using Evolutionary Placement Algorithm provided the largest number of positively assigned metabarcodes and was least affected by erroneous sequences and limitations of reference data, comparing to alignment- based and tree-based approaches. Key words: biodiversity, identification, barcode, nematodes, meiobenthos. 1 1. Introduction Metabarcoding studies based on high throughput sequencing of amplicons from marine samples have reshaped our understanding of the biodiversity of marine microscopic eukaryotes, revealing a much higher diversity than previously known [1]. Early metabarcoding of the slightly larger sediment-dwelling meiofauna have mainly focused on scoring relative diversity of taxonomic groups [1-3]. The next step in metabarcoding: identification of species, is limited by the available reference database, which is sparse for most marine taxa, and by the matching algorithms.
