Characterization of wheat nematodes from cultivars in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) naturally live in soil and attack small roots, but some species inhabit and feed in bulbs, buds, stems, leaves, or flowers. This leads to plant weakness and they often appear to suffer from ... -
Exploitation and characterisation of resistance to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita in soybean
(2013)Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) is a major pest of soybean in South Africa and due to its high level of pathogenicity to the crop it is quintessential that research in this regard should receive priority. Root-knot ... -
Nematode biodiversity in south-western Nigerian watermelon cropping systems, with reference to Meloidogyne and its management
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Watermelon is increasingly produced and consumed in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, limited information exists regarding the nematode fauna associated with the crop. Therefore, the overall aim of this study ... -
Nematode fauna in the Telperion Nature Reserve
(North-West University, 2019)The Nematology Unit, Biosystematics, Agricultural Research Council—Plant Health and Protection (ARC—PHP) founded the South African Plant-Parasitic Nematode Survey (SAPPNS) in 1987. The aim of the SAPPNS was to make a ... -
Novel information on the morphology, phylogeny and distribution of camallanid nematodes from marine and freshwater hosts in South Africa, including the description of Camallanus sodwanaensis n. sp.
(Elsevier, 2019)Four species of previously known nematodes from the family Camallanidae were found from different hosts in South Africa: Batrachocamallanus xenopodis from the frog Xenopus muelleri, Paracamallanus cyathopharynx and ... -
The role of fish helminth parasites in monitoring metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems: a case study in the world's most productive platinum mining region
(Springer, 2020)Due to the increasing consumption of platinum (Pt), especially in automobile exhaust catalysts, environmental concentrations of Pt are of emerging concern worldwide. Limited information exists on environmental concentrations, ... -
Screening of the indigenous African vegetable, Corchorus olitorius, against root-knot nematodes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Corchorus olitorius (Jute mallow) belongs to the genus of about 40-100 species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. Jute mallow is an important food for many families. It is famous for its sturdy natural fibre in ... -
Serpinema cayennensis n. sp. (Nematoda: Camallanidae), a parasite of the freshwater turtle Rhinoclemmys punctularia Daudin (Reptilia: Testudines: Geoemydidae) from French Guiana: morphology and phylogenetic relationships with other turtle-parasitising camallanids
(Magnolia Press, 2019)The genus Serpinema was erected from the genus Camallanus to include species parasitising freshwater turtles. Following this, the taxonomic status of Serpinema was challenged by different authors considering it as a subgenus ...
