Abstract

During a nematological survey in Iraq, in the Bashika area, Ninevah province, an anguinid nematode population was isolated from galls of infected barley plants. The morphological characteristics indicated that the recovered species is identical to Anguina tritici. The barley population of A. tritici was molecularly characterized by sequencing two ribosomal regions (ITS and 18S rRNA genes), and their phylogenetic analyses revealed the newly generated sequences are in sister relation to corresponding sequences of A. tritici from wheat in the Bayesian tree, providing further evidence that the host plant can contribute to the separation of new isolates of plant parasitic nematodes.
