R. similis infected all the cortical parenchyma layers of Gros Michel roots. Red-brown cytoplasmac globules appeared in the cortical parenchyma cells of Gros Michel only. H. multicinctus infected much of the outer cortical parenchyma in roots of both cultivars with a few phenolic cells occurring around the superficial lesions. H. pararobustus penetrated only the immediate sub-epidermal tissues in both cultivars. The differences observed between nematodes and cultivars reflect specific hostnematode interactions on bananas.  ahistopathology  aHoplolaimus pararobustus  aBanana  aRadopholus Similis  aHelicotylenchs multicinctus  tAnnals of Applied Biologygv.124, n.1, p.65-73, 1994.
