Description and Distribution of Three Criconematid Nematodes from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China
Populations of , , and , isolated in Hangzhou, China from the rhizosphere soil of woody perennials were characterized morphologically and molecularly. The morphometric data of the Chinese populations were compared with populations from other regions of the world. DNA barcoding with the mitochondrial...

| Summary: | Populations of
,
, and
, isolated in Hangzhou, China from the rhizosphere soil of woody perennials were characterized morphologically and molecularly. The morphometric data of the Chinese populations were compared with populations from other regions of the world. DNA barcoding with the mitochondrial COI gene confirmed conspecificity of Chinese and Costa Rican populations of
. Phylogenetic assessment using a near full-length 18S ribosomal DNA sequence provided weak support for a grouping of
from China and
from western North America. The phylogenetic position of
from China and an unknown species of
from Thailand relative to
suggests that the genus
is not monophyletic. The study provides the first record of
in China and confirms the presence of
previously reported from China. Biogeographic implications of these nematode distributions are discussed. |
