TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, a biotrophic parasite of many crops, is reported, providing insights into the adaptations required by metazoans to successfully parasitize immunocompetent plants, and open the way for discovering new antiparasitic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the sequences of the D3 expansion of the 26S ribosomal genes reveals different degrees of heterogeneity in different populations and species of Pratylenchus from the Mediterranean region
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that P. penetrans may represent a species complex, while in P. neglectus the intra-species heterogeneity observed is due to intra-individual variability and the specific conservation of some nucleotides in different P. thornei populations indicates their fixation in the rDNA repeats in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular variability and phylogenetic relationships among different species and populations of Pratylenchus (Nematoda: Pratylenchidae) as inferred from the analysis of the ITS rDNA
TL;DR: The results support the taxonomic usefulness of the ITS region to identify root-lesion nematode species of the genus Pratylenchus but the high nucleotide variability, sometimes, can preclude its use to resolve relationships among all members of the species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oscheius onirici sp. n. (Nematoda: Rhabditidae): a new entomopathogenic nematode from an Italian cave.
Giulia Torrini,Giuseppe Mazza,Beatrice Carletti,Claudia Benvenuti,Pio Federico Roversi,Elena Fanelli,Francesca De Luca,Alberto Troccoli,Eustachio Tarasco +8 more
TL;DR: Entomopathogenicity bioassay revealed that this nematode is capable of infecting larvae of Galleria mellonella and Tenebrio molitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differentiation among three species of bovine Thelazia (Nematoda: Thelaziidae) by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism of the first internal transcribed spacer ITS-1 (rDNA).
Domenico Otranto,Elvira Tarsitano,Donato Traversa,Annunziata Giangaspero,Francesca De Luca,V. Puccini +5 more
TL;DR: Clear genetic differences among the three Thelazia examined were demonstrated by using the enzymes HpaII, CpoI and SspI for the delineation of T. gulosa, T. rhodesi and T. skrjabini offers prospects as a molecular epidemiological tool to study parasite transmission patterns and prevalence.
