Paratylenchus hamatus, known as the fig pin nematode, is a species of migratory plant endoparasitic nematode that causes lesions on plant roots, producing chlorosis, wilting and eventual yield loss in its hosts. It moves through and feeds on different parts of host root tissue over its life cycle to find enough susceptible tissue to survive and reproduce. A wide range of host plants are susceptible, including valuable fruit and vegetable crops such as figs, carrots and celery, and it is also commonly found associated with woody perennials in California. The species inhabits soils in both Europe and North America and was first isolated from fig trees in central California in 1950.
