traditionally, in suburbs of tabriz city, northwest iran (gps 38˚06΄n, 46˚15΄e, mean temperature of 6.6-20.0°c, sandy loam soil type), different types of vegetables including cabbages have been cultivated for many years. the cabbage cyst nematode, heterodera cruciferae was reported as one of the plant parasitic nematodes infecting kohlrabi (brassica oleracea l. var. gongylodes) and white cabbag...

Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) yield is limited by several factors, including soil pathogens, such as Rotylenchulus reniformis (the reniform nematode) and Meloidogyne incognita Southern root-knot nematode). Understanding the behavior of different cultivars, within species passion could be important asset to search for sources resistance, therefore effective management phytonematodes. ...

The presence of the anisakid nematode Hysterothylacium gadi aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802) is reported for the first time in cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) as a new host in freshwater farms from Turkey. This marine parasitic nematode is thought to complete the life cycle in fresh water and rainbow trout could act as the definitive host for this parasite under fresh water c...

Species of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus bacteria form mutualistic associations with Steinernema and Heterorhabditis nematodes, respectively and serve as model systems for studying microbe-animal symbioses. Here, we profiled gene expression of Xenorhabdus koppenhoeferi during their symbiotic persistence in the newly formed infective juveniles of the host nematode Steinernema scarabaei through th...

American boxwood, Buxus sempervirens var. globosum, was tolerant of Helicotylenchus dihystera [in field microplots] as measures of plant growth were similar to the control and nematode densities were maintained at high levels (1,705-1,810/500 cm(3) soil after 29 months). Boxwood was intolerant of Pratylenchus vulnus at initial densities of 163, 281, or 475 nematodes per 500 cm(3) soil. In compa...

To understand the roles of nematodes in organic matter (OM) decomposition, experimental setups should include the entire nematode community, the native soil microflora, and their food sources. Yet, published studies are often based on either simplified experimental setups, using only a few selected species of nematode and their respective prey, despite the multitude of species present in natura...

Nematodes and fungi are both ubiquitous in marine environments, yet few studies have investigated relationships between these two groups. Microbial species share many well-documented interactions with both free-living and parasitic nematode species, and limited data from previous studies have suggested ecological associations between fungi and nematodes in benthic marine habitats. This study ai...
