Abstract
Electrophoretic protein patterns of females of round-cyst nematodes vary with the host plant on which they are cultured. This and other difficulties render the method unreliable for the characterisation of species on the basis of protein separation. Patterns obtained from newly hatched 2nd stage larvae, which have not fed and are free from host-plant proteins, form a more useful criterion for distinguishing species.
