Trichodoridae (stubby-root nematodes, trichodorids) is a family of terrestrial root feeding nematodes, being one of two that constitute suborder Triplonchida. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] They are economically important plant parasites and virus vectors.
About 90% of nematodes reside in the top 15 cm (6") of soil. Nematodes do not decompose organic matter, but, instead, are parasitic and free-living organisms that feed on living material. Nematodes can effectively regulate bacterial population and community composition—they may eat up to 5,000 bacteria per minute.
Globodera rostochiensis, commonly known as the golden nematode, golden eelworm or yellow potato cyst nematode, is a plant pathogenic nematode. It is a pest of plants in the family Solanaceae , primarily infesting potatoes and tomatoes , as well as a variety of other root crops.
Family: Trichostrongylidae Leiper, 1912: Type genus; Trichostrongylus. Looss, 1905. Trichostrongylidae is a family of nematode in the suborder Strongylida. [1] [2] [3 ...
Subclass Rhabditia is mostly composed of parasitic nematodes (particularly in the Strongylida), though there are some free-living species as well (particularly in the Rhabditida). Phasmids (posterior sensory structures) are well-developed, while amphids (anterior sensory structures) are poorly developed or absent in this group.
Mermithidae is a family of nematode worms that are endoparasites in arthropods. As early as 1877, Mermithidae was listed as one of nine subdivisions of the Nematoidea. [2] Mermithidae are confused with the horsehair worms of the phylum Nematomorpha that have a similar life history and appearance. Mermithids are parasites, mainly of arthropods ...
Steinernema is a genus of nematodes in the family of Steinernematidae. [2] [3] [4] The genus Steinernema is named after the nematologist Gotthold Steiner. [5] Nematodes of this genus have been shown to be effective as a biological control for agricultural pests of the Scarabaeidae family, such as Maladera formosae.
