Three nematode species of the infraorder Tylenchomorpha (Nematoda: Tylenchina) from Iran

Abstract

During a nematode survey and identification of plant-parasitic nematodes in Iran, several species belonging to the infraorder Tylenchomorpha were collected and identified from different localities of West Azerbayjan, Kermanshah and Golestan provinces. Among which three species, namely Aphelenchoides xui (Aphelenchoididae), Paratylenchus recisus (Tylenchulidae)and Tylenchus skarduensis (Tylenchidae) are new records for Iran nematode fauna. Description, measurements, line drawings and microscopic photographs are provided for these new records.
