Paratylenchus hamatus, the fig pin nematode, is a species of migratory plant endoparasites, that causes lesions on plant roots resulting in symptoms of chlorosis, wilting and ultimately yield losses.[1][2] They move and feed on different parts of host tissue throughout their life cycle in order to find enough susceptible host tissue to survive and reproduce.[3] A wide range of host plant species are susceptible to the fig pin nematode, including many valuable fruit and vegetable crops such as figs, carrots and celery.[4][5] They are also commonly found associated with woody perennials in California.[6] P. hamatus inhabits soils in both Europe and North America, and was originally isolated from fig in central California in 1950.[7]
