Aphelenchoides Bicaudatus
''Aphelenchoides bicaudatus'' is a nematode parasite of '' Elaeidobius kamerunicus'', ''Vigna marina'', and ''Agaricus bisporus''. Distribution In June 1980 ''E. kamerunicus'' were imported from Cameroon to Malaysia. They were needed to pollinate ''Elaeis guineensis'', which until then had been inadequately pollinated by whatever native insects were around. The pupae were found to be severely infested with ''A. bicaudatus'' and so were treated until nematode-free before being released. It occurs commonly as a soil organism in New South Wales. ''A. bicaudatus'' is also found in: Libya, China, India, and Brazil. Protein expression ''A. bicaudatus'' may be distinguished from other ''Aphelenchoides'' and ''Ditylenchus angustus'' and '' D. myceliophagus'' by some of their α- and β-esterase An esterase is a hydrolase enzyme that splits esters into an acid and an alcohol in a chemical reaction with water called hydrolysis. A wide range of different esterases exist that diff ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nematode
The nematodes ( or grc-gre, Νηματώδη; la, Nematoda) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes), with plant- parasitic nematodes also known as eelworms. They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a broad range of environments. Less formally, they are categorized as Helminths, but are taxonomically classified along with arthropods, tardigrades and other moulting animals in the clade Ecdysozoa, and unlike flatworms, have tubular digestive systems with openings at both ends. Like tardigrades, they have a reduced number of Hox genes, but their sister phylum Nematomorpha has kept the ancestral protostome Hox genotype, which shows that the reduction has occurred within the nematode phylum. Nematode species can be difficult to distinguish from one another. Consequently, estimates of the number of nematode species described to date vary by author and may change rapidly over time.

Aphelenchoides
''Aphelenchoides'' is a genus of mycetophagous nematodes. Some species are plant pathogenic foliar nematodes. Taxonomy In 1961 Sanwal listed 33 species and provided a key. The most important species of these are '' Aphelenchoides ritzemabosi'', the chrysanthemum foliar nematode; ''Aphelenchoides fragariae'', the spring crimp or spring dwarf nematode of strawberry, which also attacks many ornamentals; and ''Aphelenchoides besseyi ''Aphelenchoides besseyi'' is a plant pathogenic nematode. It is sometimes referred to as ''rice white tip'', ''spring dwarf'', ''strawberry bud'', ''flying strawberry nematode'' or ''strawberry crimp disease'' nematode. This foliar nematode is ...'', causing summer crimp or dwarf of strawberry and white tip of rice. Several species of this genus feed ectoparasitically and endoparasitically on aboveground plant parts. References Bibliography * George Agrios (2005): ''Plant Pathology, Fifth Edition''.
