Description
The Biology of Nematodes synthesizes knowledge of the biology of free-living, plant-parasitic, and animal-parasitic nematodes. Contributed works by recognized researchers apply groundbreaking molecular techniques, many of which resulted from work on Caenorhabditis elegans, toward new approaches to the study of nematode worms.
Topics covered include:
Systematics and phylogeny
Neuromuscular physiology
Locomotion
Sense organs
Behavior
Aging
The nematode genome
Survival strategies
Immunology
Epidemiology
Structure and organization
Gametes and fertilization
Development
Feeding, digestion, and metabolism
