Abstract
During a survey of plant-parasitic nematodes in fruit tree nurseries in Iran, a species of the genus Paratrichodorus from the family Trichodoridae was found in the rhizosphere of apricot seedlings in Shahrood, central Iran, then subsequently in Karaj orchards. Morphological and morphometric characters of the specimens were in agreement with P. teres. The D2/D3 expansion fragment of the large subunit (LSU) of rRNA gene of the nematode was also sequenced. P. teres is considered an economically important species in agricultural crop, worldwide. This is the first report of the occurrence of P. teres in Iran.
