First Report of Lesion Nematode (Pratylenchus vulnus) on Boxwood in Ohio

Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens L. and other species) is a popular evergreen shrub used in landscaping. In January 2012, three nursery-grown plants of cv. Green Gem boxwood were submitted from Warren County, Ohio to the C. Wayne Ellet Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic at The Ohio State University, an Ohi...

520 |a Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens L. and other species) is a popular evergreen shrub used in landscaping. In January 2012, three nursery-grown plants of cv. Green Gem boxwood were submitted from Warren County, Ohio to the C. Wayne Ellet Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic at The Ohio State University, an Ohio Plant Diagnostic Network laboratory. The plants, established for 4 years, exhibited orange to bronze discoloration of the foliage; foliage was not desiccated and dieback was not evident although stunting was present. Plant root symptoms ranged from nearly complete necrosis to distinct black lesions on living roots. A root scraping showed nematodes present in the lesions. Nematodes were extracted from root and soil subsamples with a Baermann funnel apparatus for 48 h (3). A high number of lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus sp.) were observed from both soil and root samples. Individual nematodes were handpicked and identified under a compound light microscope as Pratylenchus vulnus Allen & Jensen, 1951 according to morphologic and morphometric characteristics (2). Males and females were observed with stylets having rounded knobs, labial regions continuous with the body contour, and three to four lip annuli. The lateral field contained four incisures, with the two inner incisures closer to each other than to the outer ones. The esophagus overlapped the intestine ventrally. Female (n = 12) body length ranged from 410.3 to 654.5 μm (mean 583.0 μm), stylet length from 15.0 to 17.8 μm (mean 16.8 μm), tail length from 23.2 to 37.5 μm (mean 29.2 μm), vulva position from 78.9 to 85.6% (mean 81.7%), dorsal esophageal outlet (DGO) from 2.6 to 3.5 μm (mean 3.1 μm), and with functional oblong spermathecae. De Man ratios were as follows: a = 25.3 to 33.3 (mean 28.4), b = 4.1 to 7.6 (mean 6.0), c = 16.1 to 23.5 (mean 20.1), and c' = 1.8 to 2.6 (mean 2.1). Male (n = 16) body length ranged from 478.0 to 589.0 μm (mean 537.9 μm), stylet length from 15.0 to 17.2 μm (mean 16.2 μm), tail length from 22.7 to 28.1 μm (mean 25.5 μm), spicule from 15.0 to 17.5 μm (mean 16.4 μm), gubernaculum from 3.5 to 4.7 μm (mean 4.0 μm), and DGO from 2.6 to 3.7 μm (mean 3.1 μm). De Man ratios were as follows: a = 26.4 to 36.3 (mean 30.5), b = 5.0 to 7.9 (mean 5.8), c = 19.1 to 23.0 (mean 21.1), and c' = 1.6 to 2.4 (mean 2.0). DNA was extracted from single adult females and the D2-D3 expansion region of the 28S rRNA gene was amplified using forward primer ACAAGTACCGTGAGGGAAAGTTG and reverse primer TCGGAAGGAACCAGCTACTA (4). The PCR product was purified and sequenced. The sequence was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. JQ692308) and was compared with sequences previously deposited in GenBank by means of BLAST search. The comparison revealed a sequence similarity of 98 to 99% with P. vulnus (e.g., GenBank Accession Nos. HM469437.1, EU130886.1, and JQ003994.1). P. vulnus is a known pathogen of boxwood (1). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. vulnus in Ohio. References: (1) K. R. Barker. Plant Dis. Rep. 58:991, 1974. (2) P. Castillo and N. Vovlas.
