Taxonomy

In 1961 Sanwal listed 33 species and provided a key.[3]

The most important species of these are Aphelenchoides ritzemabosi, the chrysanthemum foliar nematode; Aphelenchoides fragariae, the spring crimp or spring dwarf nematode of strawberry, which also attacks many ornamentals; and Aphelenchoides besseyi, causing summer crimp or dwarf of strawberry and white tip of rice.

Several species of this genus feed ectoparasitically and endoparasitically on aboveground plant parts.

gollark: *And* it has `exorcise`, really good sandboxing with less than 12950816 exploits, Skynet and EZCopy.
gollark: It has a built-in interface to tryhaskell.
gollark: The process manager lets you run background processes waaay more easily than in vanilla CC.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: It's called Polychoron, and has waaaaay too many features for what it does.
