Steinernema abbasi was isolated from soil in alfalfa fields in Sultanate of Oman, while the Egyptian population of S. abbasi was isolated from a soil sample from Ismailia Governorate. The occurrence of this isolate is reported for the first time in Egypt. The distinctness of Egyptian S. abbasi in comparison with populations of S. scapterisci, S. carpocapsae, S. riobravis, S. kushidai and original S. abbas diagnostic characters include the length of the infective stage juveniles, the ratio E (distance from the head to the excretory pore divided by the tail length). The Shape and the length of spicules and gubernaculum and absence of a tail projection in the male. Morphological examination indicateded that third-stage infective juveniles, males and females of this isolate have almost the same morphological and morphometric characters as those of the original description. |
