Paralongidorus buchae host for Catenaria anguillulae

Abstract

Specimens of Paralongidorus buchae Lamberti, Roca et Chinappen, collected in Mauritius in April 1987, from the rhizosphere of sugar cane, were observed to be parasitised by a zoosporic fungus. Elliptical zoosporangia were present in the body with discharge tubes emergiug through the cuticle (Fig. 1, a-c).
