title = "List of type specimens deposited since 1998 in the United States department of agriculture nematode collection, Beltsville, Maryland",
abstract = "The United States Department of Agriculture Nematode Collection (USDANC) is one of the largest and most valuable in existence and includes millions of specimens housed in over 39,800 permanent slides and 9,300 vials. This collection preserves type specimens of nematodes to serve as a reference for identifications and future taxonomic revisions. Also, the collection provides useful information on nematode hosts, occurrence, and distribution. The present list includes type specimens added to the USDANC since 1998. Since that time, the collection has expanded, with 474 type species mounted and preserved on 2,564 glass slides and 180 vials. We encourage nematologists throughout the world to deposit type specimens in the USDANC for use by future generations.",
