Brazil, Malawi, South Africa, and West Africa (Senegal, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso). Widely distributed in the Caribbean islands, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, Tobago, Trinidad Guadeloupe and Martinique.
Populations of Meloidogyne mayaguensis able to overcome resistance in tomato cv. Rossol, soybean cv. Forrest, and sweet potato are reported in West Africa.
Damages coffee in Cuba where it also reproduces on tomatoes with the
Mi resistance gene.
Feeding site establishment and development typical of genus.
Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is the type host, first reported in Puerto Rico. Other recorded hosts include bell pepper (Capsicum annuum), soybean (Glycine max), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), coffee (Coffea arabica), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), beet (Beta vulgaris), broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Botrytis), celery (Apium graveolens), horsebean (Cannavalia ensiformis), parsley (Petroselynum crispum), potato (Solanum tuberosum), and pumpkin (Cucurbita sp.).
Guava (Psidium guajava) is also a good hostand it has been found on other tropical fruit trees (Annona sp., Pouteria sapota, Euphorbia longana, Chrysophyllum cainito).
Spanish needle (Bidens pilosa) is a weed host.
In Florida, M. mayaguensis has been found associated with ornamentals, of angel trumpet (Brugmansia 'Sunray'), cape honeysuckle (Tecomaria capensis), glory bush (Tibouchina elegans), ajuga, carpet bugleweed (Ajuga reptans), and Uganda gloryflower (Clerodendrum ugandense). Also, Thunbergia spp., Tithonia spp., Torenia spp., Trachelospermum spp. and Hibiscus sp.
