feed and reproduce ( Townshend, 1964). Mycophagous nematodes can reduce or even stop the growth of fungi causing hyphal shrinkage ( Riffle, 1971) and the application of this kind of nematodes for the control of some fungi harmful to crops has been described in several studies (e.g. Ishibashi and Choi, 1991; LagerlÖf et al., 2011).

Between the root-inhabiting fungi reported as hosts of B. fUngiVOrUS there are: Alternaria SOlani , BOtrytiS Cinerea , FUSariUm CUlmOrUm , FUSariUm OXySpOrUm , FUSariUm SOlani , OphiObOlUS graminiS , PythiUm debaryanUm , PythiUm UltimUm , RhiZOCtOnia SOlani , TriChOderma Viride and VertiCillim albO-atrUm ( Townshend, 1964). Some of these have been reported as pathogens of saffron ( Ahrazem et al., 2010), one of the most destructive diseases in C. SatiVUS cultivation is FUSariUm OXySpOrUm because it causes severe yield losses ( Cappelli, 1994).

BUrSaphelenChUS fUngiVOrUS View in CoL is the most reported species among the nematode of the fUniVOrUS -group. The host range of the nematodes in this particular group is relatively wide with respect to the other BUrSaphelenChUS View in CoL groups because the species have been found associated not only with coniferous dead or dying trees or insect vectors, but also in other type of trees ( BUrSaphelenChUS kiyOharai ( Kanzaki et al., 2011) View in CoL , BUrSaphelenChUS View in CoL maXbaSSienSiS ( Massey, 1971), BUrSaphelenChUS penai ( Kanzaki et al., 2014a) View in CoL , BUrSaphelenChUS SyCOphilUS ( Kanzaki et al., 2014b) View in CoL and B. willibaldi ), in the plant tissues of herbaceous crops ( B. fUngiVOrUS View in CoL and BUrSaphelenChUS View in CoL hUnti ( Steiner, 1935; Giblin and Kaya, 1983), in soil ( BUrSaphelenChUS View in CoL gOnZaleZi ( Loof, 1964) and B. Seani) and in peat moss ( BUrSaphelenChUS rOCkyi View in CoL ( Xu et al., 2018; Steiner, 1935; Loof, 1964; Massey, 1971; Mahajan, 1973; Fotedar and Handoo, 1977; Giblin and Kaya, 1983; SchÖnfeld et al., 2006; Kanzaki et al., 2011; Kanzaki et al., 2014a, 2014b; Xu et al., 2018). Since many BUrSaphelenChUS View in CoL of the fUngiVOrUS View in CoL -group have been found in subterranean organs of plants or directly in the soil, the nematodes of this group are likely to have a predisposition to underground life and are not closely related to the wood of the trees.

In conclusion, in this work, a new species of Italian nematode fauna was isolated, in particular, associated with C. SatiVUS View in CoL plants. Further research about the role of B. fUngiVOrUS View in CoL as the control agent against pathogenic fungi on corms of C. SatiVUS View in CoL will have to be performed.
