Description
Summary:A survey was conducted in forest sites of the M uğla R egional F orest D irectorates for the presence of the pinewood nematode, B ursaphelenchus xylophilus . Wood samples were collected from declining pine and cedar trees. A total of 207 samples were taken, and nematodes were extracted, observed and identified. The pinewood nematode was not detected, but another B ursaphelenchus species was recovered from the wood of a P inus brutia tree in E şen‐ K aradere location in Fethiye, which strongly resembled the original description of B . hellenicus . It was identified as this species by morphology and ITS ‐ RFLP . Measurements and diagnostic features are presented. This is the first report of B . hellenicus from T urkey.
