In order to identify the main nematodes associated with
merey (Anacardium occidentale) in Zulia state, a survey
of nematodes was performed in Mara municipality farms
and 60 soil and root samples were taken. The samples
were processed with a combination of Oostenbrink and
Baermann funnel equipment. Results showed the pres-
ence of Dorylaimus, Aphelenchus, Tylenchus, Helicotylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Criconemoides, Hoplolaimus
and Xiphinema, with Aphelenchus as most common followed by Helicotylenchus. Finally, a brief description is
reported and an identification key is proposed.
