Abstract
Aorolaimus macbethi was found in low numbers in the soils of the semi- arid tropics of West Africa up to 80 cm deep. Soil temperature, soil m oisture and host plants have a significant effect on its multiplicatio n rate. The nematode is able to enter anhydrobiosis during the dry sea son and is characterized by a low multiplication rate. It was slightly pathogenic to millet at low inoculum levels.
