First Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Paratylenchus vandenbrandei (Rhabditida: Tylenchulidae) in Iran.

ABSTRACT: Paratylenchus vandenbrandei, has been recovered from the rhizospheric soil of Euphrates poplar (Populus euphratica) in the Karkheh protected area of Khuzestan province, southwestern Iran. The species was identified as P. vandenbrandei by the presence of three lines in the lateral fields; conoid rounded lip region; presence of submedian lobes, a stylet 24.0-28.8 μm long; an excretory pore at the level of the anterior part of the pharyngeal bulb; a round-to-oval spermatheca; presence of vulval flaps; and a conoid tail, with a terminus that is rounded or slightly pointed in some specimens. Males have a conoid tail, with a rounded-to-slightly-pointed terminus. The phylogenetic relationships of the species were reconstructed and investigated using partial sequencing of the
