First report of Trichodorus primitivus, T. sparsus and T. viruliferus (Nematoda: Trichodoridae) from the Czech Republic

Abstract

A survey has been carried out to study the occurrence and distribution of Trichodorus primitivus, T. sparsus and T. viruliferus in the Czech Republic under the rhizosphere of orchards, forests, vineyards and strawberry. Total 208 sites were surveyed and only 29 sites were found positive for these species. All three species are reported in the Czech Republic for the first time.

Molecular characterization and diagnostics of stubby root and virus vector nematodes of the family Trichodoridae (Nematoda: Triplonchida) using ribosomal RNA genes

“…Morphological identification of specimens was done using keys provided by Decraemer (1995) and Decraemer & Baujard (1998), with corresponding species descriptions. Some of the species from the Czech Republic used here were described morphologically by Kumari (2010) and Kumari & Decraemer (2011). In this study, the species were defined and delimited based on an integrated approach that considered morphological evaluation, molecular based phylogenetic inference (tree based methods) and sequence analysis (genetic distance methods) (Sites & Marshall, 2004).…”

Characterisation of Trichodorus similis (Nematoda: Trichodoridae) associated with potato from the Czech Republic

“…Previous records of trichodorids from the Czech Republic are from apple, birch, elm, grass, maple, oak, peach, pine, strawberry and sweet cherry (Kumari et al, 2007;Kumari & Decraemer, 2009, 2011Kumari, 2010;Kumari & Subbotin 2012). Research has been initiated in the Czech Republic to determine the presence or extent of trichodorids associated with potato.…”
