Özet

Several surveys have been performed in Turkey in order to determine a possible presence of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer, 1934), Nickle, 1970.  As a result, several Bursaphelenchus species have been reported.  During a study aimed to identify potential insect vectors of these Bursaphelenchus species using the trap tree method in the western region of Turkey, one Bursaphelenchus species was isolated from a wood chip sample of a Pinus brutia trap log located in Bergama town of the city of İzmir.  According to morphological and molecular studies, the species was determined as Bursaphelenchus leoni Baujard, 1980.  Morphological characteristics of the species matched well with the original description made by Baujard in 1980.  18S and 28S rRNA genes of B. leoni were sequenced and a phylogenetic tree was constructed that showed B. leoni was clustered with B. leoni in the NCBI database. This is the first report of B. leoni from Turkey. To determine presence of other known Bursaphelenchus species in Turkey, new studies should be performed.
