Abstract
Plants of Cereus jamacaru with root necrosis symptoms were observed in Acopiara City, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Using morphological characterization and molecular analysis of the ITS and 28 S rDNA regions, Pratylenchus zeae was identified as the etiological agent, confirmed by infection and re-isolation of the nematodes. This is the first report of P. zeae causing root necrosis symptoms in C. jamacaru.
