First report of four dagger nematode species of the genus Xiphinema (Nematoda: ...
Nadine, Ali; Cláudia, Vicente; Manuel, Mota; Carlos, Gutiérrez‑GutiérrezA nematological survey was conducted between 2021 and 2022 in banana felds distributed in two major banana-producing regions in the western coast of Syria. As a result, six populations of Xiphin‑ ema spp. identifed as X. difusum, X. pachtaicum, X. simile, X. vuittenezi and X. zagrosense were isolated from the rhizosphere of banana plants (Musa sp.) and characterized using morphological and molecular data based ...
Potato growth under environment chamber conditions
Pedro, Barbosa; Rui, Machado; Renato, Coelho; Cláudia, Vicente; Cristina, Figueiredo; Manuel, MotaPotato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the world’s most common vegetable, source of calories, essential nutrients and vitamin C. Most studies with potatoes are performed in vitro, under strict environmental conditions and high levels of asepsis. Integrated in a larger research study that aims at simulating in vivo conditions for application of nematicides for potato pest control, this study intended to evaluat...
Fungal communities of the Pine Wilt Disease Complex: Studying the Interaction o...
Vicente, C. S. L.; Soares, Miguel; Faria, J. M. S.; Margarida, Espada; Manuel, Mota; Filomena, Nóbrega; Ana Paula, Ramos; Maria Lurdes, InácioConsidered one of the most devastating plant–parasitic nematodes worldwide, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (commonly known as pinewood nematode, PWN) is the causal agent of the pine wilt disease in the Eurasian coniferous forests. This migratory parasitic nematode is carried by an insect vector (Monochamus spp.) into the host tree (Pinus species), where it can feed on parenchymal cells and reproduce massively, resu...
The Potential of Esteya spp. for the Biocontrol of the Pinewood Nematode, Bursa...
David, Pires; Claudia, Vicente; Maria L, Inacio; Manuel, MotaThe pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is the causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD) and a quarantine organism in many countries. Managing PWD involves strict regulations and heavy contingency plans, and present climate change scenarios predict a spread of the disease. The urgent need for sustainable management strategies has led to an increasing interest in promising biocontrol agents capabl...

Profiling mycobiota communities associated with the Pine Wilt Disease
Claudia, Vicente; Jorge, Faria; Filomena, Nobrega; Helena, Bragança; Luis, Bonifacio; Pedro, Naves; Edmundo, Sousa; Margarida, Espada; Manuel, MotaPine wilt Disease (PWD) is one of the most damaging diseases for conifer forests worldwide. This complex disease involves the interaction between three primary biological elements - the pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the insect-vector Monochamus sp., and the host tree Pinus spp. – and other secondary elements such as endophytic bacteria and fungi. The development of B. xylophilus is strongl...
