Taxonomy

In 1961 Sanwal listed 33 species and provided a key. [3]

The most important species of these are Aphelenchoides ritzemabosi , the chrysanthemum foliar nematode; Aphelenchoides fragariae , the spring crimp or spring dwarf nematode of strawberry, which also attacks many ornamentals; and Aphelenchoides besseyi , causing summer crimp or dwarf of strawberry and white tip of rice.

Several species of this genus feed ectoparasitically and endoparasitically on aboveground plant parts.
