However, an exception to this rule is made here for the genus <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> largely because of historical practice.\u00a0 Over the past several decades, the genus, <em>Paratylenchus<\/em>, was seldom differentiated to species level by CDFA Nematologists mainly due to i) the common occurrence and wide distribution of member species within California, ii) no state enforced regulatory action required subsequent to their detection, and iii) greater demands of time involved in diagnosing high risk and other nematode species considered to be of greater economic importance than those belonging to <em>Paratylenchus<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the genus, <em>Paratylenchus<\/em>, are commonly known as \u2018pin nematodes\u2019.\u00a0 Species reproduce producing eggs, four juvenile stages (J1, J2, J3, and J4) and adults.\u00a0 The J1 juvenile stage is produced within the egg and undergoes a molt before the egg taches to release J2.\u00a0 Males and J4 preadults do not feed. These nematodes inhabit the soil-root region of plants and feed on roots as obligate sedentary ectoparasites. Feeding by adults is limited to epidermal cells and the base of root hairs.\u00a0 Juveniles may feed far out on the root hairs (Maggenti, 1981).\u00a0 The nematodes move sluggishly and females become more sluggish after feeding.\u00a0 The life cycle takes about 23 days for <em>P. bukowinensis<\/em> (Brzeski, 1976). \u00a0The non-feeding preadult of <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> is the most resistant stage that comprises about 90% of stages found in winter.\u00a0 They can survive up to four years in the absence of a host. \u00a0Apparently, molting to the adult stage occurs in the presence of stimulatory substances emitted by suitable host roots (Mai <em>et al<\/em>., 1996; Maggenti, 1981).<\/p>\n<p>Taxonomically, <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. belong to family Paratylenchidae in the order Tylenchida and are characterized by their small body lengths ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 mm.\u00a0 The genus comprises several species and in California, species diversity is high and yet to be determined.\u00a0 Morphological identification of some species is difficult and therefore, diagnostics of <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. can be based on rRNA gene sequences which are reliable genetic markers (Van den Berg <em>et al.,<\/em> 2014).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hosts<\/em><\/strong>: <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. are associated with the roots of a wide range of herbaceous and woody plants including native plants, ornamentals, and many agricultural crops (Maggenti, 1981).\u00a0 The host status of associated plants is not always known.\u00a0 Dropkin (1989) lists host included in the families Cruciferae and Umbelliferae, such as carrot, celeriac, parsley and cabbage.\u00a0 Other forage and woody plants include clover, grasses, grapes, and fruit trees.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Symptoms<\/strong>:\u00a0 <\/em>General plant damage associated with <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. is minimal except when nematode populations are high in number.\u00a0 Under favorable conditions, nematode populations can increase to tremendous numbers and in greenhouse experiments damaging levels of 100-125 nematodes per gram of soil have been found (Maggenti, 1981).\u00a0 In general, infection by large numbers results in overall reduction in top and root growth without obvious symptoms on roots.\u00a0 Feeding results in brown necrotic regions in some hosts (Mai et al., 1996; Maggenti, 1981).<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Damage Potential:<\/strong> \u00a0<\/em>Generally, <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. are common associates of several plants.\u00a0 Few <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> species, such as <em>P. bukowinensis<\/em> and <em>P. projectus<\/em> have known economic importance.\u00a0 However, plant damage caused by high populations of pin nematodes could be more significant in small-area plant productions and\/or containerized crops in nursery, greenhouse, residential and local situations than in large acreages and environments such as, pastures, parks, and cultivated fields. Crop damage under field conditions may be difficult to assess as <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. are often mixed with other genera and\/or two or more stunt nematode species occurring together.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Spread<\/em><\/strong>: \u00a0The main mode of long and short distance spread through artificial means: infested plant roots, movement of nematode-contaminated soil, run-off and irrigation water, cultivation tools, equipment and any human activity that can move soils from infested to non-infested sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u><\/strong>: <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. are distributed widely geographically (Mai, 1996).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Official Control<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 Currently, <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. are D rated pests in California (see \u2018Initiating Event\u2019).\u00a0 <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. are on the \u2018Harmful Organism Lists\u201d for Australia and Nauru (USDA-PCIT, 2016).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Distribution<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. are widely distributed in California.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Interceptions<\/u><\/strong>: For the past several decades, <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. have been detected in several imported plant and soil shipments intercepted in California.<\/p>\n<p>The risk <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Climate\/Host Interaction:<\/strong> <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> are able to establish throughout the State.<\/p>\n<p>Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.<\/p>\n<p>Score: <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>3<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; Low (1) Not likely to establish in California; or likely to establish in very limited areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; Medium (2) may be able to establish in a larger but limited part of California.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211; <strong>High (3)<\/strong> likely to establish a widespread distribution in California.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Known Pest Host Range:<\/strong> <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> are known to be associated with several diverse plant species, however, the host status of associated plants is not always known.<\/p>\n<p>Evaluate the host range of the pest.<\/p>\n<p>Score: <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>3<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; Low (1) has a very limited host range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; Medium (2) has a moderate host range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211; <strong>High (3)<\/strong> has a wide host range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Pest Dispersal Potential:<\/strong> The main mode of long and short distance spread through artificial means: Infested plant roots, movement of contaminated soil, run-off and irrigation water, cultivation tools, equipment and any human activity that can move soils from infested to non-infested sites.\u00a0 Increase in reproduction rates depends on the plant species parasitized.<\/p>\n<p>Evaluate the natural and artificial dispersal potential of the pest.<\/p>\n<p>Score: <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>3<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; Low (1) does not have high reproductive or dispersal potential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; Medium (2) has either high reproductive or dispersal potential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211; <strong>High (3)<\/strong> has both high reproduction and dispersal potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Economic Impact: <\/strong>Generally, <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> are considered mild and common pathogens of plants.\u00a0 However, under high population levels in residential, nurseries, greenhouse, and other small-area plantings, where high nematode populations can build up under favorable conditions, <em>Paratylenchus<\/em> spp. infections could result in lowered crop yield.<\/p>\n<p>Evaluate the economic impact of the pest to California using the criteria below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Economic Impact:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>A<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>A.
