Continuous use of potato varieties with the same source of resistance causes genetic selection for stronger and/or more virulent pale cyst nematode populations.
Pale cyst nematode (G. pallida) is found 49 countries/regions and golden nematode (G. rostochiensis) is found in 74 countries/regions as of 2022.
