- Two populations of foliar nematodes were collected from strawberries in Florida and identified as a new species related to a known nematode species, with distinct morphological features and behavior.

- Phylogenetic analyses indicate that the new nematode species clusters with related populations from Brazil, suggesting possible misidentification, and it showed infectivity in strawberries and gerbera daisies but not in soybeans or alfalfa.
