Trichodoridae are polyphagous root ectoparasites occurring worldwide. Their major pest status is as virus vector of Tobraviruses. Currently, the family has 102 species classified within 6 genera. The genus Trichodorus is the largest in number of species (56) and predominantly occurs in temperate regions. Traditional morphology-based taxonomy revealed for Europe, a very high species diversity within the Iberian...
Trichodoridae are polyphagous root ectoparasites occurring worldwide. Their major pest status is as virus vector of Tobraviruses. Currently, the family has 102 species classified within 6 genera. 88% of the species belong to the didelphic genera (females with two well developed genital branches) with the genus Trichodorus being the largest in number of species (56). Trichodorus species predominantly occur in t...
A survey of virus vector trichodorid nematodes was carried out in the central and northern regions of Portugal. Morphobio- metric identification showed the presence of trichodorid species previously reported from Portugal, except for Paratrichodorus porosus, which is reported for the first time in Continental Europe. Small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) sequences of ten different species occurring in Portugal...
During a survey of trichodorids in Continental Portugal, a new trichodorid species, Paratrichodorus divergens sp. n., was found. It is described and illustrated with specimens from the type locality and additional morphometric data and photographs of specimens obtained from soil samples collected in seven other localities are also included. The species is characterised in female by distinct drop-like to triangu...
Os Trichodoridae são nematóides ectoparasitas de plantas, polífagos, que ocorrem com uma ampla distribuição mundial. Apesar da família ser pequena em número de gêneros e espécies quando comparada com outros taxons de nematóides parasitas das plantas, o grupo não é menos importante. Os Trichodoridae incluem não só espécies que podem causar danos diretos em numerosas plantas, como também, várias espécies que atua...
This chapter (8) is a contribution to differentiate the genera of the family Trichodoridae and to identify trichodorid species occurring in Europe.
