Treatment

Aphelenchoides fragariae ( Ritzema Bos, 1890) Christie, 1932

The most striking augmentation in the number of reported plant associations of Aphelenchoides spp. belongs to A. fragariae . Escuer & Bello (2000) and Fu (2012) quote Siddiqi (1975) and mention 250 plant species belonging to 47 families, but as shown in Table 1 View TABLE 1 and Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 , at least 621 plant species and varieties from 287 genera are associated with A. fragariae , most of them (84%) within flowering plants. A. fragariae is also the species that is reported on the highest number of ferns followed by A. ritzemabosi and A. besseyi , 162, 7 and 4 species respectively ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ). To date, it is also the only Aphelenchoides species reported on Marchantiophyta ( Kohl 2008). Several hosts are shared with other Aphelenchoides species ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ).
