the reproductive range of the iranian population of white tip nematode in rice, aphel-enchoides besseyi, was investigated in vitro to find out a suitable medium as well as a fa-vorable fungal host for monoxenic culturing this nematode. studies were carried out on rice seed associated fungi, pathogenic fungi and one mushroom (agaricus bisporus) grown on three culture media, rpa (rice polish agar...

the reaction of four field tomato cultivars (super strain b, super chief, mobil, and royal) along with two greenhouse cultivars (polaris and es 1002 f1) was evaluated agianst m. javanica under greenhouse conditions. the soil around tomato seedlings (bearing 5-6 leaves) was inoculated with two levels of the nematode inoculum i.e. 1000 and 2000 eggs as well as second stage juveniles per every kg ...

sugar beet (beta vulgaris) is one of the hosts for different root-knot nematode species. in this study, firstly the effect of different inoculum levels including 250+250, 500, 500+250, 750, 500+500 and 1000 second stage juveniles of meloidogyne javanica were evaluated on a susceptible variety named jolgeh. the results showed that all inoculum levels were suitable for infection on sugar beet pla...

Four experiments were conducted using nematode-infested and nematode-free adults of the cerambycid beetle, Monochamus alternatus, to determine horizontal transmission pathways of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. When nematode-infested beetles of one sex and nematode-free beetles of the opposite sex were paired in containers for 48 or 72 hours, the number of nematodes carried by nematode-free beetles...

members of the genus gongylonema  are nematodes that commonly infect ruminants, particularly sheep and goats. an 11-year-old donkey mare was referred to the veterinary teaching hospital, school of veterinary medicine, ferdowsi university of mashhad, mashhad, northeastern iran, with a history of acute colitis. at post-mortem examination, there were several white to pink zigzag tracks in the muco...

In a parasitic study on five Sharks (Carcharhinus macloti) caught from the Iranian coasts of Persian Gulf, two of five sharks appeared to have nematode in their intestine. Using light microscopy, the nematode was identified as Acanthocheilus rotundatus. A. rotundatus  is characterised by 3.3-4.5 cm in length, semithick cuticle, small lips, semicircular and tri-lobed pseudolabia (not offset from...

the root lesion nematode tea,pratylenchus loosi, is currently the most important damage-causing factor of tea in iran and all over the world. this nematode is considered as the most damage-causing factor of tea in many tea-producing countries including sri lanka, china, india, japan and bngladesh. in recent years, it’s also considered as a key disease and damage-causing of tea that cause to sev...

the influence of different initial inoculum densities of the root-knot nematode meloidogyne javanica on the growth of sage (salvia officinalis), root-knot development and nematode multiplication was investigated 90 days after inoculation under greenhouse conditions. with the increase in the nematode initial inoculum densities, shoot fresh/dry weight, shoot/root length and root fresh/dry weight ...

root-knot nematodes, meloidogyne spp., are one of the important plant parasitic nematodes of tomato in the world. the most suitable control method of plant parasitic nematodes is the use of resistance sources and tolerant cultivars. in the earlier studies, the results showed thatonly 2% (19 out of 537 varieties) were resistant and tolerant to the root knot nematodes. in the supplementary studie...

Nematode-suppressive soils are characterized by the ability of soil microbial communities to reduce populations plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) either directly or inducing systemic resistance in plants. Various microorganisms have been recognized as antagonists PPN suppressive using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. However, associations that form with nematode-conducive poorly...
