Extract

Steiner (1931) published a brief note on the occurrence of disease in a yam tuber, from Jamaica, with which there were associated large numbers of a species of nematode which he placed in the genus Hoplolaimus. Steiner and LeHew (1933) published a description of the nematode parasite obtained from this yam and gave it the name Hoplolaimus bradys. At a later date Steiner and Buhrer (1934) recorded the same parasite from a yam coming from Porto Rico.
