Good day everyone. Does anyone know a specialist on perineal patterns of Meloidogyne? To give some advice and aid in development of a website for spesies or group ID of Meloidogyne. I have started with the website, but I want to find out what the specialist look for to ID Meloidogyne?
Thank you in advance.
This book is a comprehensive reference of what to look for in developing an identification protocol based on observation.
Book Nematode Identification and Expert System Technology
The larger challenge is to solve, "Was is not a Meloidogyne nematode", then, what is left, must be a Meloidogyne nematode -- handle potential misidentifications.
A "happy path" would only consider diagnostic keys relevant to the genus and species of Meloidogyne. Happy paths are hazardous to navigate. Clear pictures and diagrams tend to dumb down requirements for identification.
This is a general website done by the UNL Nematology Lab

NEMAID based on a similarity coefficient is also something to consider when dealing with nematodes at a species level.

describe a few techniques:1) Morphometrics and cluster analysis (Tree Clustering)
2) Character groupings in tabular keys for identification
Perineal patterns among a couple of Meloidogyne species are very similar, except for some species that you can guess! That is correct. I have prepared hundreds of perianal patterns from many species it give you a little clue/ hope it help
