- Observation Rose plants on infested farms appeared stunted and less productive.
- 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.
- Observation 28S rDNA sequence analysis confirmed morphological identification of M. hapla.
- Method / resource Nematode sequences were deposited in GenBank as KJ645427 to 33.
