Trichodorus
Trichodorus
Genus of roundworms
Trichodorus is a genus of terrestrial root feeding (stubby-root) nematodes in the Trichodoridae family (trichorids), being one of five genera.[2] They are economically important plant parasites and virus vectors.[3]

As originally described by Cobb in 1913, Trichodorus was the only genus in its family. However, in 1974 the genus was split into two genera in 1974 by Siddiqi,[4] Trichodorus and Paratrichodorus.
The genus, which is the largest in the family consists of 54 species.[5] The females are didelphic (two genital tracts), and are distributed worldwide.
Trichorids became of interest in 1951.[6] At that time Trichodorus christie (=Paratrichodorus minor) was recognised as a pest of crops in Florida.[7]
