MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF POPULATIONS OF HEMICRICONEMOIDES STRICTATHECATUS ESSER, 1960 AND H. ROSAE RATHOUR, SHARMA, SINGH & GANGULY, 2003 (NEMATODA: CRICONEMATIDAE) FROM COSTA RICA

During nematological studies conducted in Costa Rica, five populations of sheathoid nematodes (Hemicriconemoides spp.) were detected in samples collected in Alajuela, Puntarenas, and San José provinces. Morphological and molecular analyses showed that five sheathoid nematode populations from Alajuela and San José provinces match with Hemicriconemoides strictathecatus, a species described from Florida, USA and reported in many other countries. A population from Puntarenas province fit morphologically and molecularly with H. rosae, a species described in Uttar Pradesh, India and also reported in China. This is the first record of the occurrence of these two species in Costa Rica. Phylogenetic analysis of Hemicriconemoides species were performed based on partial sequences of the D2-D3 domains of the 28S ribosomal DNA gene, the ITS1 region and subunit I of the cytochrome c oxidase (COI) mitochondrial gene. This integrative approach also supported the identification of H. strictathecatus and H. rosae as valid species newly recorded in Costa Rica.
