Status:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Background<\/span>:<\/strong> \u00a0The Asian citrus root-knot nematodes are a complex of species that in Asia attack the roots of <em>Citrus<\/em> spp.\u00a0 The species have not been found outside of China and India where the climate ranges from semi-tropical to temperate.\u00a0 Currently, there is a paucity of information on the biology and economic damage potential of each species, however, root-knot nematodes are known to economically damage crops and therefore ACRKN, if introduced to the United States, have the potential to negatively impact citrus production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Life Cycle: <\/em>The seven species comprising the complex of Asian citrus root-knot nematodes (<em>Meloidogyne<\/em> spp.) have life cycles and feeding behaviors similar to other root knot nematode species.\u00a0 <em>Meloidogyne<\/em> spp are sedentary endoparasites that feed within host plant roots.\u00a0 Adult females embedded in host roots produce eggs within a mass either on the surface of, or within roots.\u00a0 The first stage juvenile develops within the egg and molts to develop into the second stage.\u00a0 The second-stage juveniles (J2) are the infective stage that hatch from eggs, migrate in rhizosphere soil to host roots, reinfest the roots or are attracted to other nearby host roots which are then penetrated.\u00a0 Within roots, J2 establish a specialized feeding site or giant plant cells that are formed at the head end of the nematode in response to its feeding. \u00a0The second stage juveniles become sedentary while feeding at the specialized site, increase in size and undergo two more molts and non-feeding stages before developing into mature adult females or males and completing the life cycle.\u00a0 Very little is known about the biology of all ACRKN species.\u00a0 Pan <em>et al<\/em>., (1999) provided information on the biology of <em>M. fujianensis<\/em> on <em>Citrus reticulata<\/em> in Fujian Province, China.\u00a0 The species is active there throughout the year with peak infection occurring between September-October and March-April.\u00a0 During that time juveniles of various stages may be present in the soil.\u00a0 The life cycle of <em>M. fujianensis<\/em> is 55-60 days at 25\u00b0 with 33-35 days from root penetration to egg production.\u00a0 <em>M. indica<\/em> took 28-35 days from root penetration to egg production on Satsuma, sour orange and tomato (Vovlas &amp; Inserra, 2000).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Hosts:<\/em>\u00a0 Citrus is the primary host for all ASRKN species.\u00a0 Experimental hosts include pepper and tomato as non-citrus hosts.\u00a0 Some of the nematode species show preferences to certain <em>Citrus <\/em>species over others. <em>Meloidogyne citri<\/em>: <em>Citrus<\/em> spp. (citrus), <em>C. reticulata<\/em> (mandarin\/tangerine orange), <em>C. unshiu<\/em> (Satsuma orange), <em>C. aurantium<\/em> (sour orange), <em>Solanum lycopersicum<\/em> (tomato). <em>M. donghaiensis<\/em>: mandarin\/tangerine orange. <em>M. fujianensis<\/em>: <em>Imperata cylindrical<\/em> (cogon grass), mandarin\/tangerine orange.\u00a0 <em>M. indica<\/em>: citrus, <em>C. aurantifolia<\/em> (lime), <em>C. sinensis<\/em> (orange), <em>Morinda officianalis<\/em> (morinda).\u00a0 <em>M. jianyangensis<\/em>: citrus, mandarin\/tangerine orange.\u00a0 <em>M. kongi<\/em>: citrus, <em>Capsicum<\/em> sp.
