Other claims from this paper (10)
- 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 Juvenile stylet knobs, male head shape and female perennial pattern were typical for M. hapla.
- Observation 28S rDNA sequence analysis confirmed morphological identification of M. hapla.
- Method / resource Nematode sequences were deposited in GenBank as KJ645427 to 33.
- Observation The sequences had 96 to 100% similarity with published M. hapla accessions.
- Observation Sequence comparisons did not resolve whether the Ethiopian population was native or imported.
- Observation The authors report the first Ethiopian record of M. hapla to their knowledge.
- Observation M. hapla appears established at elevations of 1,400 to 2,100 m near Addis Ababa.
