Abstract

The occurrence and geographic distribution of Xiphinema species were investigated during a nematological survey in the rhizosphere of grapevine. Sixty eight samples from 28 vineyards from South Moravia, and one vineyard from Central Bohemia, were studied. Four Xiphinema species (X. brevicollum, X. diversicaudatum, X. pachtaicum and X. vuittenezi) were recorded. One of the described species, X. vuittenezi, is widespread, occurring in 27 out of 29 vineyards. Xiphinema vuittenezi and X. diversicaudatum were also detected by PCR-based methodology.
