Strawberries are primarily cultivated in the Central Region of Costa Rica due to the favorable growing conditions there. However, several factors can affect the final yield and quality of strawberries, including the presence of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN). Unfortunately, no surveys have been conducted in the country to identify the PPN affecting production. This study aimed to identify morphologically PPN genera associated with strawberry in the Central Region of Costa Rica, and to identify the
