I have been looking at the body measurements and their relations to each other (a, b, c, V etc.). Are these realiable enough and species specific enough? I have also paid attention to whether the nematode's body width does not exceed 17 microns (there does not seem to be many specimens with that narrow body width - at least in the samples I have been looking at). To look at the shape of the male spicule is not always so easy to me since I can't not seem to decide if the spicule I am looking at really for sure is the one of fragariae male. Unless of course there is a striking difference. I would be happy to receive E-Mail addresses for taxonomists whom I could contact with my questions, thank you!

Thanks for your advice. I will try to contact Mr. Boag. You wouldn't have his email address would you? I also got a kind response from Solveig Haukeland and she obviously can help me out also with my questions.

MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Anyone doing routine soil sample extractions for free living nematodes? What would be the best yet not too laborious of such method? We do it for quarantine purposes and need to get the results fast. I understand getting a clear sample with no dirt obstructing the view is very much desirable. We would be looking for Longidorus, Xiphinema etc. mainly. I would be happy to get a detailed recipe or literature reference where I'd get one myself. Thank you again all of you who may respond!!

This homepage covers biological control, nematode taxonomy, molecular systematics, population genetics, quantitative ecology, and physiology. Topics will range from basic and applied research, to efficacy of nematodes in different cropping systems (small fruits, ornamentals and mint), to mass production, to phylogenetic relationships and genetic structure among the nematodes. The homepage also provides an easy way to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to the discussion group on entomopathogenic nematodes (Entonema mailing list). We appreciate your feedback and comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Berry, Ph.D. http://www.bcc.orst.edu/~jiel Jie Liu, Ph.D. Tel:(541) 737-5526 Dept.
