- Observation M. hapla was detected on six of nine rose farms in four Ethiopian districts during 2011 and 2012 surveys.
- Observation Rose plants on infested farms appeared stunted and less productive.
- Observation Rose plants on infested farms often showed chlorosis and wilting.
- Observation Female, male and juvenile morphological and morphometric characters matched known M. hapla variability.
- Observation Juvenile stylet knobs, male head shape and female perennial pattern were typical for M. hapla.
