Meloidogyne javanica (Chitwood, 1949; Treub, 1885) from Zingiber officinale Roscoe and Eryngium foetidum L. in Vietnam. A to F: Females. A: Entire body; B, C: Anterior end regions; D: Stylet and median bulb extracted from female; E, F: Perineal patterns. G to K: Second-stage juvenile. G, H: Anterior end region; I: Lateral field; J, K: Tail regions. (Scale bar: A: 200 µm; B-K: 10 µm).

Figure 2:
The haplotype network shows the relationships between different haplotypes, circle size is equivalent to the number of studied populations and branch length is equivalent to the number of mutations (shown as small black circles). All populations from the same species are displayed by the same colors (except for the populations of M. javanica from Vietnam in this study).
