First record of Bursaphelenchus fraudulentus Rühm (Goodey) (Nematoda Aphelenchoididae) in Italy
REDIA 88, 27-35
Abstract: During a survey carried out in Lombardy (Ticino Park) for nematodes associated with broad-leaved trees the species Bursaphelenchus fraudulentus Rühm (Goodey) was recovered from wood fragments of Quercus robur L. (peduncolata oak), Carpinus betulus L. (hornbeam) and Fraxinus sp.. Morphobiometric characters supplemented by scanning electron microscopy observations of two Italian populations from peduncolata oak and hornbeam are hereby reported. ITS-RFLP analysis was also used to characterize the species.
