Abstract
Occurrence of cyst nematode Heterodera daverti Wouts and Sturhan 1978 (Wouts & Sturhan 1978) is reported from Australia for the first time. Cysts were recovered from soil samples collected from a hop farm in Merriang, Victoria. Morphological and morphometric characteristics of cysts and second stage juveniles match those described for this species reported from other parts of the world. Identification was further supported by molecular evidence through comparison of newly generated sequences of ITS rRNA, CO1 mtDNA and 28S rRNA gene regions with sequences previously available on NCBI GenBank.
