Nematode, commonly known as round worm, is considered as one of the major constraint of medicinal plants which can compromise the quality and quantity of their healing properties and their yield. In West Bengal, more than 550 plant species are found to be used medicinally. But, so far only a few species of medicinal plants have been found to be associated with plant parasitic nematodes. Till date, 17 species of nematodes belonging to 10 genera and 9 families under two orders Dorylaimida and Tylenchida have been recorded so far from West Bengal. The diversity and district-wise distribution of those species along with affected medicinal plants in the state are presented in this paper. This will give an idea by which controlling measures may be taken against those hidden and noxious pest of different medicinal plants to eradicate or minimize the damages caused by them.Keywords

Mangroves are exclusive group of plants with remarkable ecological importance. They have been extensively used for timber, fish, prawns, fodder, tanning materials, fire wood, etc. India has about 4461 sq km area under mangrove vegetation, amongst which about 60% is found along the east coast (Bay of Bengal), 25% occurs on the west coast (Arabian Sea) and 15% on the Bay Islands (Andaman and Nicobar Islands) according to State of Forest Report, Forest Survey of India, 2003. Globally nematodes represent one of the most abundant group and probably the second largest one of the animal kingdom, just behind the arthropods. They are found everywhere and in all kinds of habitats ranging from Himalayan peak to sea floor, from Arctic to Antarctic. Along with other causes of destruction of mangrove forests, nematodes also play a harmful role to this valuable ecosystem. In India, very few works have been done on these noxious pests associated with mangroves. The present paper deals with a consolidated report of these pests, representing more than 50 species, described or reported so far from different mangrove forest areas of India. However, extensive works are needed to monitor the damages caused by them as well as for taking necessary control measures against these hidden enemies.- Diversity of Nematodes Associated with Mangrove Forests in India
