s in the family
Heteroderidae
''Heteroderidae'' is a family of nematodes. The name comes from the Greek heteros = other and deras = skin (derm). This "refers to the different 'skins' of female and cyst."Tylenchida: Parasites of Plants and Insects, 2nd ed., by Mohammad Rafiq ...
. Members of the genus are obligate parasites and different species attack different crops, often causing great economic damage. The genus is unique among nematode genera because of the ability of the female to transform into a tough, brown, cyst which protects the eggs which have been formed within her body. The name heterodera "refers to the different 'skins' of female and cyst."Tylenchida: Parasites of Plants and Insects, 2nd ed., by Mohammad Rafiq Siddiqi

s sequences for the family, much of which is for this genus. Most of that has been generated by Sergei Subbotin and collaborators (Subbotin et al 1999, Clapp et al 2000, Subbotin et al 2000, Zeng et al 2000, Subbotin et al 2001, Amiri & Subbotin 2002, Subbotin et al 2003). Subbotin et al 2003 suggests further analysis of this data will yield a large number of new ''Heterodera'' species.
