A new entomopathogenic nematode species for Turkey, Heterorhabditis megidis Poinar, Jackson & Klein 1987 (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae)

Türkiye’nin Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde entomopatojenik nematodların varlığını belirlemek için yapılan bir survey çalışması sırasında, Galleria tuzak böcek yöntemi kullanılarak bir heterorhabditid türü tespit edildi. Yapılan morfolojik ve morfometrik incelemeler sonucunda izole edilen türün Heterorhabditis megidis olduğu belirlendi. Bu identifikasyon, rRNA’nın ITS bölgesi sekansı ile doğrulandı. Bu çalışma ile Heterorhabditis megidis Türkiye’den ilk kez izole edilmiştir. Karadeniz Bölgesi’nin tamamını kapsayan detaylı survey çalışması halen yürütülmektedir.

Türkiye için yeni bir entomopatojenik nematod türü Heterorhabditis megidis Poinar, Jackson & Klein 1987 (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae)

During a survey on the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey, a heterorhabditid species was isolated using the Galleria-baiting technique. Based on morphology and morphometrics, the isolate was identified as Heterorhabditis megidis. Sequences of the ITS region of its rDNA confirmed this identification. The species is recorded for the first time from Turkey. A more intensive survey to determine the distribution of this species, covering all parts of the Black Sea region of Turkey, is currently underway.
