Eleven species of Mononchidae Chitwood, 1937 were
found among the nematodes separated from 48 soil samples
in Thailand and sent to Oregon State University. Six
species are newly described and illustrated including
Iotonchus bangkokensis, Iotopchus ainostomos, Iotonchus
chantabunensis, Iotonchus ravonqensis, fotonchus thai-Iandensis, and Miconchus triodontus. Also reported is a

The hop cyst nematode, Heterodera humuli Filipjev, 1934 was
first reported from Europe in 1894, however, very little is known
with respect to the biology and economic importance of this pest.
Abundant material from Oregon hop yards provided an excellent
opportunity to add additional details concerning the bionomics of this...
A saprozoic nematode, Diplogaster lheriteiri Maupas 1919,
was studied to determine its relationship to the plant pathogenic bacteria,
Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith and Townsend) Conn.,
Erwinia amylovora (Burrill) Winslow et al., Erwinia carotovora
(Jones) Holland, Pseudomonas phaseolicola (Burk. ) Dows.,
Xanthomonas campestris (Pam. ) Dows. and to a phage of A....
Root-knot nematodes were among the earliest plant-parasitic
nematodes to be recognized. Before 1949, they were considered as the
one species Heterodera marioni (Cornu 1887) Goodey 1932. In 1949
Chitwood completed a taxonomic study of the root-knot nematodes and
placed them in a separate genus Meloidogyne. Economically they are
one of...
Self-interactions (effects of reinoculation with the same nematode)
in Meloidogyne hapla and Heterodera schachtii on Beta vulpris at
different levels of inocula with various population combinations were
studied. In M. hapla, the only significant increase of galls was
noted in treatments when 250+250 larvae were inoculated at 10-day
intervals. Longevity...
Three species of bacteriophagous nematodes, Pristionchus
lheritieri (Maupas) Paramanov, Pelodera chitwoodi (Bassen)
Dougherty and Rhabditis sp. were studied to determine their potential
roles as vectors of selected insect pathogens, Bacillus thuringiensis
Berliner, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Metarrhizium
anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin and a nuclear polyhedrosis
virus of Trichoplusia ni Hubner.
