Meloidogyne vitis Yang, Hu, Liu, Chen, Peng, Wang & Zheng, 2021

Review general characteristics of the genus Meloidogyne.

Differs molecularly from all other Meloidogyne spp. Morphologically similar to M. mali but differs in the shape of the perineal pattern which has a higher dorsal arch in M. mali (Subbotin et al., 2021).
