- Abstract
This article examines the occurrence of eelworm in a plant of Scabiosa caucasia. The eelworms were living endoparasitically in the leaves, which were dying off. The damage within the plantation was generally slight, although odd plants were heavily infested. It was found that damage by eelworm to scabious was subsequently reported in 1952 from different part of England including Hampshire, Lancashire, Westmorland, Cumberland and Northumberland. Another locality in Suffolk, England reported a scabious plant infested with three species of Aphelenchoides in 1952. The species present were Aphelenchoides fragariae, Aphelenchoides ritzema-bosi and Aphelenchoides blastophthorus.
