Plant parasitic nematodes are major pests of agricultural crops and
cause huge monetary losses. There is a very high risk of spread of
plant-parasitic nematodes from one country to another, with the
movement of plants and planting materials such as seeds, bulbs,
corms, suckers, tubers, rhizomes, rooted plants, nursery stock and
cut flowers. In view of the large quantities and the wide variety
of materials being imported and exported, it is important to assess
the status of invasive nematodes and their quarantine importance in
relation to agricultural trade. This book contains information on
around 100 invasive nematodes and their potential threat in
different countries. Each nematode entry includes information on
authentic identification, geographical distribution, risk of
introduction, host ranges, symptoms, biology, ecology, planting
material liable to carry the nematode(s), nematode vectors, chance
of establishment, likely impact, and phytosanitary measures. There
are detailed accounts of diagnosis procedures including sampling,
isolation, detection and identification of nematodes based on
morphological and molecular characters. The book offers a global
perspective on invasive plant-parasitic nematodes and useful for
practitioners, professionals, scientists, researchers, students,
and government officials working in plant quarantine and
biosecurity.
