Surveys of the occurrence of nematodes attacking citrus show they are present in all citrus-growing countries of the world. The first report of and association between a nematode and citrus appeared in 1889 (673), but it was not until the discovery in 1912 of Tylenchulus semipenetrans Cobb, 1913, on the roots of citrus trees in California (965) that a nematode was found to cause a diseased condition of citrus later called slow decline.
