Morphological and molecular characterisation of one new and several known species of the reniform nematode, RotylenchulusLinford & Oliveira, 1940 (Hoplolaimidae: Rotylenchulinae), and a phylogeny of the genus
(Brill, 2016)
The reniform nematodes of the genus Rotylenchulus are semi-endoparasites of numerous herbaceous and woody plant roots and are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, we provide morphological ...
Steinernema litchii n. sp. (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), a new entomopathogenic nematode from South Africa
(Brill, 2017)
During a survey in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, a Steinernema species was isolated from a soil sample taken from a litchi orchard. Steinernema litchii n. sp. can be separated from other, closely related, species ...
Morphological and molecular characterisation of Aporcelaimellus nigeriensis sp. n. (Dorylaimida: Aporcelaimidae), a remarkable dorylaim from Nigeria
(Brill, 2020)
A new species of Aporcelaimellus, collected in a watermelon field in Nigeria, is described, including its morphological and molecular (D2-D3 28S-rDNA, 18r-DNA) characterisation. Aporcelaimellus nigeriensis sp. n. is ...
Description of Calcaridorylaimus heynsi n. sp. (Nematoda: Dorylaimidae) from Potchefstroom, South Africa
(Brill, 2020)
Calcaridorylaimus heynsi n. sp. is the second species of the genus to be described by both morphological and molecular techniques. Morphologically, it can be distinguished from all known species of Calcaridorylaimus by a ...
Steinernema fabii n. sp. (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), a new entomopathogenic nematode from South Africa
(Brill, 2016)
A new species of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema fabii n. sp., was isolated by trapping with wax moth (Galleria mellonella) larvae from soil in an Acacia mearnsii plantation in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. ...
First record of Phasmarhabditis papillosa (Nematoda: Rhabditidae) in South Africa, and its virulence against the invasive slug, Deroceras panormitanum
(Brill, 2017)
Worldwide interest in Phasmarhabditis originates from the successful commercialisation of P. hermaphrodita as a biological control agent against molluscs in Europe. To date, P. hermaphrodita has not been isolated from South ...
Description of Globodera agulhasensis n. sp. (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) from South Africa
(Brill, 2017)
A new cyst nematode, herein described as Globodera agulhasensis n. sp., was found parasitising Senecio burchelli in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Second-stage juveniles are characterised by a well developed ...

(Brill, 2017)
A new cyst nematode, herein described as Globodera sandveldensis n. sp., was found in the Sandveld, Western Cape Province, South Africa. As the host plant of G. sandveldensis n. sp. is currently unknown, the species is ...
Steinernema nguyeni n. sp. (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), a new entomopathogenic nematode from South Africa
(Brill, 2016)
Steinernema nguyeni n. sp. was recovered by baiting from beneath an Olea africana tree in South Africa. The combination of morphological and molecular features suggests that S. nguyeni n. sp. is a member of the ...
Steinernema bertusi n. sp. (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), a new entomopathogenic nematode from South Africa
(Brill, 2020)
Two isolates of Steinernema bertusi n. sp. were separately recovered from Tito, Mpumalanga, and Port Edward, Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. In this paper, we describe the isolates as a new entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) ...
