| description | Diploscapter coronata is a free-living soil bacterial-feeding nematode found in
compost, sewage or agricultural soil and as a facultative parasite of insects and vertebrates,
even humans. The clinical symptoms include epigastric tenderness, diarrhea,
crampy abdominal pain, weakness and nauseas. Also, they have been considered as
potential carriers of bacteria pathogenic to the surface of preharvest fruits and vegetables
in contact with soil. In this note, we reported the presence of D. coronata in the framework
of diverse soil nematodes samplings in orchards of Abasto town, Buenos Aires province,
Argentina. Soil samples taken from tomato growing (Lycopersicon esculentum) were
processed in the laboratory by the centrifugation method, while collected roots were
observed directly under stereomicroscope in order to isolate nematodes. Specimens
were identified by morphological and morphometric characteristics. Results showed the
presence of D. coronata in agricultural soil and in association with root galls, caused by
the plant-parasitic nematode, Nacobbus aberrans. Females were the only isolated stage.
The detection of this nematode in greenhouses where dogs, cats and poultry live together
without any health control highlights the importance of applying proper hygiene measures
during agricultural practices to avoid contamination of fruits and vegetables and prevent
infections in domestic animals and humans. This report constitutes the first record of the
Diploscapter genus with the species D. coronata in Argentina. |

Diploscapter coronata es un nematodo de vida libre que habita el suelo y se alimenta de bacterias. Se ha encontrado en compost, alcantarillas o suelos agrícolas y como parásito facultativo de insectos y vertebrados, incluyendo al hombre. Los síntomas clínicos incluyen: sensibilidad epigástrica, diarrea, dolor abdominal y náuseas. Incluso, han sido considerados potenciales portadores de bacterias patogénicas asociadas con la superficie de frutas y vegetales pre-cosechadas en contacto con el suelo. En esta nota, se reporta la presencia de D. coronata en el marco de diversos muestreos de nematodos de suelo, en huertas de la localidad de Abasto, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Las muestras de suelo tomadas de cultivo de tomate (Lycopersicon esculentum) se procesaron en el laboratorio mediante el método de centrifugación, mientras que las raíces recolectadas fueron observadas directamente bajo microscopio estereoscópico con el fin de aislar los nematodos. Los especímenes fueron identificados por características morfológicas y morfométricas. Los resultados mostraron la presencia de D. coronata en suelos agrícolas y en agallas radicales causadas por el nematodo parásito de plantas Nacobbus aberrans. Las hembras fueron el único estadio aislado. La detección de este nematodo en invernaderos donde gatos, perros y aves de corral viven juntos sin ningún control sanitario, realza la importancia de adoptar medidas apropiadas de higiene durante las prácticas agrícolas para evitar la contaminación de frutas y verduras y prevenir infecciones en animales domésticos y el hombre. Este informe constituye el primer registro del género Diploscapter con la especie D. coronata en Argentina. Fil: Salas, Augusto. Universidad Nacional de La Plata Fil: Rusconi, José Matías.
