Handbook of invasive plant-parasitic nematodes.

This book offers a global compilation on invasive plant-parasitic nematodes including 100 species. The dispersal of plant-parasitic nematodes, particularly with the movement of plants and planting materials, is an essential component for the spread of these pathogens and may occur within a field or across continents. This heavy and interesting book encompasses all the major damaging nematodes including: 1) Anguinidae: I Anguina i (three spp.) and I Ditylenchus i (four spp.); 2) Aphelenchidae: I Aphelenchoides i (four spp.) and I Bursaphelenchus i (two spp.); 3) Belonolaimidae: I Belonolaimus i (one sp.); 4) Criconematidae: I Criconemoides i (several species) and I Hemicriconemoides i (one sp.); 5) Hemicycliophoridae: I Hemicycliophora i (one sp.); 6) Heteroderidae: I Cactodera i (one sp.), I Globodera i (three spp.), I Heterodera i (11 spp.) and I Punctodera i (two spp.); 7) Hoplolaimidae: I Aphasmatylenchus i (one sp.), I Helicotylenchus i (three spp.), I Hoplolaimus i (five spp.), and I Scutellonema i (two spp.); 8) Longidoridae: I Longidorus i (three spp.), I Paralongidorus i (one sp.) and I Xiphinema i (six spp.); 9) Meloidogynidae: I Meloidogyne i (19 spp.); 10) Pratylenchidae: I Achlysiella i (one sp.), I Hirschmanniella i (four spp.); I Nacobbus i (one sp.), I Pratylenchus i (11 spp.), I Radopholus i (two spp.), and I Zygotylenchus i (one sp.); 11) Rotylenchulidae: I Rotylenchulus i (three spp.); 12) Telotylenchidae: I Tylenchorhynchus i (one sp.); 13) Trichodoridae: I Nanidorus i (one sp.); I Paratrichodorus i (one sp.), and I Trichodorus i (one sp.); 14) Tylenchulidae: I Tylenchulus i (one sp.); and two final technical chapters on detection and diagnosis, and international regulations.
