Abstract
In May 2018, symptoms of reduced growth and yellowing of Persian lime (Citrus latifolia) trees were detected in a commercial orchard located in Cotaxtla, Veracruz, Mexico. Nematodes were obtained from symptomatic trees and characterized through morphology and phylogeny, as well as pathogenicity tests. The results confirmed that Tylenchulus semipenetrans is the causal agent of the disease. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of T. semipenetrans causing slow decline of Persian lime in Veracruz, Mexico.
期刊介绍:
Australasian Plant Disease Notes is an international journal for publication of short reports from all countries which describe original research that transcends national boundaries. All aspects of plant pathology are covered including new geographical records of diseases or pathogens, new pathogens or pathogen strains, taxonomic papers, quarantine notes, disease management and diagnostic methods. Australasian Plant Disease Notes is a publication of the Australasian Plant Pathology Society.
