The host range of the corn cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae, recently detected in Maryland, was investigated. A total of 269 plant entries, representing 68 families, 172 genera, and 204 species, was inoculated with cysts or a mixture of eggs and second-stage juveniles of H. zeae. The host range of the Maryland population of H. zeae was limited to plants of the Gramineae and included 11 tribes, 33 genera, 42 species, and 77 entries. All 22 corn (Zea mays) cultivars tested were hosts. Other economic hosts included certain cultivars of barley (Hordeum vulgare), oat (Arena sativa), rice (Oryza sativa), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), sugar cane (Saccharum interspecific hybrid), and wheat (Triticum aestivum). Fall panicum (Panicum dichotomiflorum), a weed species common to cultivated fields in Maryland, was also a host for H. zeae. Other hosts included meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis), Calamagrostis eipgeios, Job's tears (Coix Lachryma-Jobi), green sprangletop (Leptochloa dubia), witchgrass (Panicum capillare), broomcorn (Panicum miliaceum), fountain grass (Pennisetum rueppeli), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), common reed (Phragmites australis), eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides), corn (Zea mays), and teosinte (Zea mexicana).
对最近在马里兰州发现的玉米孢囊线虫（Heterodera zeae）的寄主范围进行了调查。用玉米孢囊线虫的孢囊或卵与二期幼虫的混合物接种了总共269个植物品种，它们代表68个科、172个属和204个物种。马里兰州玉米孢囊线虫种群的寄主范围仅限于禾本科植物，包括11个族、33个属、42个物种和77个品种。所有测试的22个玉米（Zea mays）品种都是寄主。其他经济寄主包括某些大麦（Hordeum vulgare）、燕麦（Arena sativa）、水稻（Oryza sativa）、高粱（Sorghum bicolor）、甘蔗（Saccharum interspecific hybrid）和小麦（Triticum aestivum）品种。秋稷（Panicum dichotomiflorum）是马里兰州耕地常见的杂草物种，也是玉米孢囊线虫的寄主。其他寄主包括草地狐尾草（Alopecurus pratensis）、拂子茅（Calamagrostis eipgeios）、薏苡（Coix Lachryma-Jobi）、马唐（Leptochloa dubia）、金色狗尾草（Panicum capillare）、黍（Panicum miliaceum）、紫叶狼尾草（Pennisetum rueppeli）、虉草（Phalaris arundinacea）、芦苇（Phragmites australis）、大刍草（Tripsacum dactyloides）、玉米（Zea mays）和类蜀黍（Zea mexicana）。
