The feeding behaviour of Hirschmanniella oryzae, H. imamuri, and H. spinicaudata on excised rice roots was very similar to that of other tylenchid nematodes on other hosts. Juveniles and adults of all three species invaded rice roots, causing extensive mechanical damage. Feeding and burrowing activities predisposed roots to secondary infection in unsterile cultures. Surface-sterilized nematodes did not induce necrosis in axenic cultures.
稻根结线虫、伊氏根结线虫和刺尾根结线虫在离体水稻根上的取食行为与其他垫刃目线虫在其他寄主上的取食行为非常相似。这三个物种的幼虫和成虫都会侵入水稻根,造成广泛的机械损伤。在未灭菌的培养物中,取食和钻孔活动使根更容易受到二次感染。经表面灭菌的线虫在无菌培养物中不会诱导坏死。
