Natural parasitism of Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) on the coffee berry borer in Chiapas, Mexico

Creator:: Pérez, Jeanneth, Infante, Francisco, Poinar, George, Jr., Castillo, Alfredo, and Vega, Fernando E.
Abstract:: We assessed the parasitism of Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi on its host, the coffee berry borer, in 20 coffee plantations of Mexico. A total of 23,568 adult borers were dissected, with 179 of these infected with nematodes (0.76% infection rate). Although the level of parasitism is not encouraging, the nematode is another...

Spirochete-like cells in a Dominican amber Ambylomma tick (Arachnida: Ixodidae)

Creator:: Poinar, George, Jr.
Abstract:: Amber preserves microscopic, soft-bodies organisms and is a good medium in which to trace the evolution of pathogen-vector associations. Spirochetes-like cells (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in the hemocoel and lumen of the alimentary tract of a larva tick (Amblyomma sp. Arachnida: Ixodidae) in Dominican amber are described in the collective fossil genus...
