Meloidogyne enterolobii

Recombinase polymerase amplification assay for rapid detection of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii

“…Meloidogyne enterolobii is a tropical or subtropical nematode and has a broad host range, including cultivated plants and weeds. It is now considered to be one of the most important root-knot nematode species as it displays wide virulence and can develop on crop genotypes carrying several root-knot nematode resistance genes in economically important crops, including tomato, soybean, cowpea and peppers, and has a higher pathogenicity and reproductive potential than either M. incognita or M. arenaria (Anonymous, 2014(Anonymous, , 2016. Consequently, this species was added to the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization A2 list of pests recommended for regulation as quarantine pests.…”
