New dagger nematodes (nematoda: Dorylaimida) from Serbia

Abstract

During a nematological survey to determine the occurence and distribution of Longidoridae in Serbia, specimens representing two new Longidorus species for Serbia were collected. First of them (L. elongatus de Man, 1876) Thorne at Swanger, 1936, was found at site Mojince near Dimitrovgrad in East Serbia in a native pasture. Second one (L. leptocephalus Hooper 1961 ) was collected long time ago (1972) and recently in grassland on mountain Zlatibor, on locality Stočna farma in West Serbia and also found together with L. elongatus in same locality Mojince in East Serbia. Morphology and morphometrics of above mentioned species are presented and ilustrated in this article.

U Srbiji je utvrđeno prisustvo kopljastih nematoda Longidorus elongatus (de Man,1876) Thorne and Swagner 1936 i L. leptocephalus, Hooper,1961. Prva od navedenih vrsta konstatovana je u lokalitetu Stočna farma na Zlatiboru, a druga, pored navedenog lokaliteta na Zlatiboru i u Istočnoj Srbiji kod Dimitrovgrada. Za obe vrste značajno je istaći da pripadaju grupi fitoparazitnih nematoda koje su i vektori biljnih virusa. Longidorus elongatus je vektor škotske linije RRV (raspberry ringspot virus) i TBRV (tomato black ringspot virus), dok je Longidorus leptocephalus vektor RRV-engleske linije.
