“…The quantity of inoculum (number of conidia attached to the vector) is also important in the establishment of an infection (Webber, 1990). According to Shaner et al (1992) and Andrivon (1993), parasitic fitness is the ability of a genotype to survive and reproduce within a pathogen population. We propose that CU is a parasitic fitness factor which is not related to symptom expression, but instead functions to increase the inoculum load and survival of the yeast-like cells on the vector.…”

“…This distinction is at the heart of various attempts to clarify the definition of virulence (Shaner et al 1992;Andrivon 1993;Poulin and Combes 1999). We resist the urge to give our own all-encompassing definition to supersede the rest.…”

“…mayaguensis Rammah andHirschmann, 1988) has become more important worldwide for its high aggressiveness, increasing geographical distribution and wide host range (Castagnone-Sereno, 2012). Aggressiveness is the ability of the nematode to invade and reproduce in a suitable host (Shaner et al, 1992). The host range of M. enterolobii includes several species of crop plants of great economic importance as pepper, tomato, soybean, guava, coffee, beans, watermelon and potato among others (Moens et al, 2009).…”

SummaryMeloidogyne enterolobii (Me) is an emerging root-knot nematode (RKN) and the most important worldwide for its high aggressiveness and increasing geographical distribution. In Mexico only in watermelon and tomato has been reported. Here we report the presence of this nematode in Jalapeño pepper collected in the state of Sinaloa. The morphological and morphometric characteristics of the second-stage juveniles and adult females were similar to those described for Me. DNA sequencing and alignment analysis (BLAST/GenBank) showed that the SCAR and rDNA IGS2 fragments had a 99 % of identity, with Me DNA sequences present in the database. The results obtained indicate that the RKN detected corresponds to M. enterolobii. To our knowledge, this is the fi rst report of this nematode in chilli pepper in this region of Mexico, considered of major economic importance for the variety of vegetables grown and the extension of the area sown.
