in order to identification of plant parasitic nematodes associated with plants in fruit orchards of west azerbaijan province, iran, a survey was conducted during 2011 and 2012. nematodes were extracted from soil and root samples by using centrifugal-flotation and whitehead's tray, transferred to glycerin and mounted in permanent slides. morphological and morphometrical characters of the specime...

Dolichodorus aestuarius n. sp. from an estuarine habitat near Cedar Key, Florida is described. This nematode has a stylet range of 62-76 microm in females and 60-72 mum in males. The stylet is shorter than those of all described species except D. brevistilus. The probable host plant is Juncus roemerianus.

In this issue of Immunity, Cortez-Retamozo et al. (2013) demonstrate that the increased production of angiotensin II in tumor-bearing mice induces the expansion of macrophage progenitors and the supply of macrophages.

Dolichodorus marylandicus n. sp. is described and illustrated from grass (Zoysia japonica) in College Park, Maryland. Specimens have also been collected from perennial bluegrass (Poa pratensis) pasture at Beltsville, Maryland, and from pine (Pinus sp.) in North Carolina. This new species is related to D. heterocephalus Cobb, D. similis Golden, and D. aestuarius Chow &Taylor. Females are distinc...

Nematode were determined in 189 soil and root samples collected from 18 olive nurseries in Golestan province (northern Iran), between 2004 and 2008. which contain eight species belonging to eight grnera The important nematodes detected, in order of decreasing frequency of infestation (percentage of samples), were Aphelenchus avenae, Meloidogyne javanica, Irantylenchus sp., Pratylenchus thornei,...

On the examination of soil around the roots of Mustard in Kashmir Valley, two species of Nematodes were met, namely Aphelenchus radicicolus Steiner,1931 and Psilenchus haki Handoo, 1977. The species were identified under Stereoscopic microscope with the little intraspecific variations from the original in terms of the dimensions. The effect of organic amendments including poultry manure, pigeon...
