An updated list of the plants associated with plant-parasitic Aphelenchoides (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) and its implications for plant-parasitism within this genus Author Sánchez-Monge, Alcides Author Flores, Lorena Author Salazar, Luis Author Hockland, Sue Author Bert, Wim text Zootaxa 2015 4013 2 207 224 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4013.2.3 d0d231f7-8000-42c1-bcf3-3fa00b6e77c3 1175-5326 242877 78D07882-590D-44D6-A765-23BE9A6999ED Aphelenchoides saprophilus Franklin, 1957 A. saprophilus was described as being commonly found in rotting plant tissues ( Franklin 1957 ) and has been found parasitizing garlic ( Allium sativum L., Amaryllidaceae ) on which it could be an important pest ( Singh et al. 2013 ). This nematode was intercepted from Aralia sp. ( Araliaceae Juss. ) at ports in Canada ( Sewell 1977 ) and from Festuca vaginata Waldst. & Kit. ex Willd. clumps ( Poaceae ) ( Krnjaic & Krnjaic 1976 ) but a parasitic relationship with these plant species needs to be confirmed.
