Bursaphelenchus debrae n. sp. (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae), an associate of the bee Halictus brunnescens in Turkey

Bursaphelenchus debrae n. sp. (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae), an associate of the bee... AbstractBursaphelenchus debrae n. sp. was cultured from dauer juveniles recoveredfrom the poison sac of a female sweat bee, Halictus brunnescens from Ankara,Turkey, in June 2004. The new species appears to be most similar to B.kevini and B. anatolius based upon the synapomorphies of their associationswith soil-dwelling halictid bees, morphological features such as fourlateral incisures, male caudal papillae arrangement, spicule morphology,female tail shape and ratio a, and molecular analysis of sequences of theD2/D3 expansion segments of the large subunit (LSU) rDNA and partialmitochondrial DNA COI (mtCOI). In addition to significant molecular sequencedifferences in LSU and COI consistent with separate species status, B.debrae n. sp. can be differentiated from both B. kevini and B. anatolius bydifferences in the host halictid bee species with which they arephoretically associated, rostrum shape and size, and presence of a uniqueprotuberance on the ventral aspect of the spicules. The nematode ismycophagous and can be cultured in the laboratory at 23°C on Moniliniafructicola growing on lactic acid-treated, 5% glycerin-supplemented potatodextrose agar (LGPDA). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nematology Brill

Abstract

AbstractBursaphelenchus debrae n. sp. was cultured from dauer juveniles recoveredfrom the poison sac of a female sweat bee, Halictus brunnescens from Ankara,Turkey, in June 2004.
