An updated list of the plants associated with plant-parasitic Aphelenchoides (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) and its implications for plant-parasitism within this genus Author Sánchez-Monge, Alcides Author Flores, Lorena Author Salazar, Luis Author Hockland, Sue Author Bert, Wim text Zootaxa 2015 4013 2 207 224 journal article 39986 10.11646/zootaxa.4013.2.3 d0d231f7-8000-42c1-bcf3-3fa00b6e77c3 1175-5326 242877 78D07882-590D-44D6-A765-23BE9A6999ED Aphelenchoides ritzemabosi ( Schwartz, 1911 ) Steiner & Buhrer, 1932a After A. fragariae , A. ritzemabosi has the highest number of reported hosts in both flowering plants and ferns ( Table 1 , Fig. 1 ). It is particularly problematic on Chrysanthemum L. and has previously been reported from circa 200 plant species ( Escuer & Bello 2000 , McCuiston 2007 ). That number increases to 321 in this paper with 314 flowering plants and seven ferns ( Table 1 ). Escuer & Bello (2000) mentioned that several weed species or noncultivated plants are suitable hosts for this species and further studies should be addressed to confirm this possibility. Reports in Asteraceae Bercht. & J. Pres are especially numerous (see online database) and around 85 species of this family have been mentioned as associated plants with A. ritzemabosi .
