Longidoridae (longidorid nematodes) is a family of polyphagous root ectoparasites in the phylum Nematoda (nematodes) with a worldwide distribution.
Taxonomy[edit]
There are about 720 species divided amongst seven genera in the family, which is further subdivided into subfamilies and tribes.[1]
Subdivision[edit]
Subfamilies;
- Longidorinae (480 spp.)
- Xiphineminae (240 spp.)
Tribes;
- Subfamily Longidorinae
- Subfamily Xiphineminae
Genera[edit]
- Subfamily Longidorinae
- Tribe Longidorini
- Longidorus (144 spp.) [2]
- Longidoroides (13 spp.)
- Paralongidorus (72 spp.)
- Tribe Xiphidorini
- Australodorus (1 sp.)
- Paraxiphidorus (3 spp.)
- Xiphidorus (8 spp.)
- Tribe Longidorini
- Subfamily Xiphineminae
- Xiphinema (some 240 spp.)
Pathology[edit]
With the Trichodoridae, the Longidoridae form the two Enoplea nematode families known to be plant parasites, though from different subclasses, and the only virus vectors (particularly nepoviruses) in phylum Nematoda.[1]
