The pine wood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner & Buhrer, 1934 (Nickle, 1970), is a pathogenic species in the genus Fuchs, 1937. introduction and establishment of PWN Setubal Peninsula, Portugal (Mota et al., 1999), evidence that Monochamus galloprovincialis its insect vector this country (Sousa 2001), has stimulated studies on further distribution potential insects Europe, including Spain. There clear risk spread into Spanish territory from Portugal, both as result natural...
Abstract As the most abundant animals on earth, nematodes are a dominant component of soil community. They play critical roles in regulating biogeochemical cycles and vegetation dynamics within across landscapes an indicator biological activity. Here, we present comprehensive global dataset nematode abundance functional group composition. This includes 6,825 georeferenced samples from all continents biomes. For geospatial mapping purposes these aggregated into 1,933 unique 1-km pixels, each...
In total, 140 populations of the genus Meloidogyne collected from representative horticultural regions Spain and maintained at Department Agroecology, Institute Agrarian Sciences, Madrid were characterized using perineal morphology, sequenced amplified region polymerase chain reaction with species-specific primers, bioassay. Using a modified North Carolina differential host test as basis, 13 did not fit into published race scheme. These had very limited ranges, reproducing only on...
Summary A survey of the xylophagous insects in conifer forests, mainly Pinus pinaster woodlands, Spain was carried out order to study phoretic vectors nematodes genus Bursaphelenchus . Fifteen environmental sites were characterized on bases altitude, rainfall, temperature and species. Specimens Orthotomicus erosus (n = 3476) captured which 59% under their elytrous, most them aphelenchid fungal‐feeding nematodes, but B. fungivorus found beetles from Las Cumbres, Villa Blanca, (Huelva),...
Summary Specimens of a thin longidorid species collected in Peñalba (Huesca), north-west Spain, were previously described as Paralongidorus iberis . However, we conclude, through scanning electron microscopy and molecular studies on population from about 15 km the type locality paratype specimens, that this was originally placed wrong genus. Both populations have pore-like amphidial apertures, not slit-like , is therefore transferred to Longidorus. Longidorus n. comb. regarded valid clearly...
Abstract As a consequence of the report pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) in Setúbal peninsula (Portugal), nematodes genus Bursaphelenchus and vector insect were studied forests, timber industries entry points for imported Galicia (north-west Spain). The aim this paper was to contribute establishment necessary measures prevent introduction B. xylophilus into Spain. Sampling, extraction identification carried out according EU norm. From collections made 1999-2002, total 2612...
