Meeting Abstract.Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 56(2006),1697-1702:DOI10.109/IJS.0.64234-0 Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Several groups of bacteria have been reported as endosymbionts of various orders of nematodes including the filarial nematodes (Brugia malayi, Wucheria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus (Spiruida)), the entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema spp., and Heterorhabditis spp. (Rhabditida)), and plant-parasitic nematodes (Dorylaimida and Tylenchida). This paper presents a review of the research on the symbiotic associations of bacteria with plant-parasitic nematodes and the implications for biological control of these nematodes. Emphasis is given to our work with Pasteuria nishizawae (Firmicutes) and Candidatus Paenicardinium endonii (Bacteroidetes), both endosymbionts of the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines. |
