Abstract
Several root-knot nematodes (RKN) species belong to the ‘tropical’ RKN group (M. incognita, M. arenaria, M. javanica, M. enterolobii, M. ethiopica, M. hispanica, M. paranaensis,etc.) which may cause substantial economic losses in agriculture particularly tropical regions. However, climate change is likely to influence the future distribution of these pests and their expansion through temperate regions. The project aims at increasing the knowledge on these species.
