Nematodes can be present in various parts of plants or at various depths in the soil, depending on the circumstances and the life stage. This means that one should be aware of these possibilities when collecting samples. Also, samples should be taken from the proper matrix at the appropriate time,...

This paper describes the life cycle, behaviour, survival, cytogenetics, morphology, biochemical and molecular identification, interaction with other plant pathogens, management and control (using prevention, crop rotation, resistance, biological control agents and nematicides) of root-knot...

This chapter describes the life cycle, behaviour, morphology, pathotypes and races, biochemical and molecular diagnosis, interactions with other plant pathogens, and management (by prevention, crop rotation, resistance, biological and chemical control, and integrated method) of cyst nematodes...

This chapters describes the morphology and identification, life cycle and behaviour, host reaction, dispersal, ecology, host range and distribution, molecular diagnosis, interaction with other pathogens, management and control of migratory endoparasitic nematodes, including the lesion nematodes (...

This chapter presents the classification, biochemical and molecular diagnostics and management of ectoparasitic nematodes, including those belonging to Chromadoria and Enoplea (Longidoridae and Trichodoridae). Ectoparasitic tylenchs sensu stricto can be grouped according to their parasitic...

This book provides an overview (chapter 1) of the general biology, ecology and economic importance of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.), and covers in detail the following: general morphology (chapter 2); taxonomy, identification and principal species (chapter 3); biochemical and molecular...

This chapter describes the interactions (including antagonistic, mutualistic and competitive interactions) of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) with microbial pathogens (vascular wilt pathogens and root-rot pathogens) and other plant parasitic nematodes, and the effects of such interactions on ...

This chapter summarizes progress on the induction of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) resistance in crops through biotechnology, particularly genetic engineering. The induction of resistance in plants mediated by proteinase inhibitors, double-stranded RNA and promoters; nematicidal activity of ...

This chapter covers the taxonomy, morphology and management of ectoparasitic nematodes under Tylenchoidea and Criconematoidea (Dolichodorus, Belonolaimus, Tylenchorhynchus, Amplimerlinius, Helicotylenchus, Rotylenchus, Hoplolaimus and Criconemoides) and Enoplea (Longidorinae, Xiphinema americanum...

This chapter covers the life cycle, behaviour, survival, cytogenetics, general morphology, post-infection development, and management and control (through cultural, physical, chemical and biological methods, and crop resistance) of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne arenaria, M. artiella, M....
