Abstract
During a study of nematodes associated with aquatic plants in Jordan, a species of the sheathoid nematode Hemicycliophora conida Thorne, 1955 was recovered from soil associated with roots of sea rush plants, Juncus maritimus Lam., from the Zarqa River. Morphological, morphometric, and molecular data of recovered females and males of this nematode are included. This study represents the first record of H. conida in Jordan. This sheathoid nematode's presence could adversely affect plants like J. maritimus, which are of industrial, medicinal, and environmental significance. The impact of H. conida on this aquatic and other aquatic plants in the Zarqa River needs to be studied further.
期刊介绍:
Helminthologia (HELMIN), published continuously since 1959, is the only journal in Europe that encompasses the individual and collaborative efforts of scientists working on a different topics of human, veterinary and plant helminthology. The journal responsibility is to enrich the theoretical and practical knowledge in very specific areas and thus contribute to the advancements in human and veterinary medicine and agronomy. Taking the advantage of comprehensive and multidisciplinary approaches journal still maintains its original spirit and is principal source of fresh scientific information regarding helminths, endoparasites and plant parasites. Addressing the most up-to date topics journal gained rightful and exceptional place next to the other high-quality scientific journals publishing in its field.
