Abstract
The geographical distribution and field host plants, population dynami cs and vertical distribution were studied for the nematode Helicotylen chus dihystera. The factors influencing the multiplication rate and th e effects of anhydrobiosis were studied for H. dihystera and H. multic inctus in the laboratory and showed that absence of H. multicinctus fr om semi-arid tropics of West Africa might be explained by the effects of high soil temperature on multiplication rate and low survival rate after soil desiccation during the dry season. The field and laboratory observations showed that anhydrobiosis might induce a strong effect o n the physiology of H. dihystera, nematode numbers being higher after soil desiccation during the dry season. H. dihystera appeared pathogen ic to peanut and millet.
