Brassicacea-based management strategies as an alternative to combat nematode pests: a synopsis
Fourie, Hendrika; Ahuja, Preeti; Lammers, Judith; Daneel, Mieke (Elsevier, 2016)Nematode pests parasitise and cause substantial crop yield and quality losses to a wide range of crops worldwide. To minimize such damage, the exploitation and development of alternative nematode control strategies are ... -
Butlerius butleri Goodey, 1929 (Rhabditida) from Iran with the phylogenetic position of the species
Shokoohi, Ebrahim; Fourie, Hendrika; Panahi, Hadi; Abolafia, Joaquín (Society of Nematologists, 2015)A population of Butlerius butleri Goodey, 1929 was isolated from vermicompost in Kerman in the Kerman Province of Iran during a nematode survey that was conducted during 2014. This population of B. butleri is characterized ... -
Description of Acrobeles aenigmaticus sp. n. (Rhabditida: Cephalobidae), an unusual species with a poorly developed vulva, from the Kalahari Desert (Ngamiland, Botswana)
Abolafia, Joaquín; Shokoohi, Ebrahim; Du Preez, Gerhard; Fourie, Hendrika (Brill, 2019)Acrobeles aenigmaticus sp. n. is described from the North-West District (Ngamiland) of Botswana, which forms part of the Kalahari Desert. This new species is characterised by its body length, ‘double’ cuticle bearing ... -
Discriminating between the eggs of two egg-mass-producing nematode genera using morphometric and molecular techniques

Van Aardt, Willie J.; Fourie, Hendrika; Pretorius, Marthinus; Louw, Roan; Van Dyk, Hayley (Brill, 2016)The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of Meloidogyne incognita second-stage juveniles (J2) was measured using polarographic oxygen sensor (POS) and fibre-optic oxygen sensor (FOS) technology. The effect of stirring speed on ... -
First report of Meloidogyne hispanica in Iran
Shokoohi, Ebrahim; Fourie, Hendrika; Parastar, Zahra; Panahi, Hadi; Abbaspour, Shiva; Marais, Mariette (Springer, 2016)Meloidogyne hispanica was identified morphologically, using perineal patterns, from root samples collected from a white mulberry growing in a park in Tehran, Iran. Molecular analysis was also undertaken, based on the D2-D3 ... -
