OverviewThe 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 Full Product DetailsAuthor: Donald L Lee (University of Leeds, UK)Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd Imprint: CRC Press Dimensions: Width: 21.00cm , Height: 4.40cm , Length: 28.00cm Weight: 1.360kg ISBN: 9780415272117ISBN 10: 0415272114 Pages: 648 Publication Date: 10 January 2002 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.

Table of ContentsReviews'This multi-authored volume edited by Donald Lee is the culmination of his long term commitment to furthering our understanding of these organisms which are ubiquitous in nature and often important parasites of plants and animals. In this book the vast body of knowledge about nematodes is organised into themes and within each theme, the available knowledge is discussed across the whole arena of nematode variation. It is particularly pleasing to read reviews that incorporate work done not only at the end of the 20th Century but in some cases, as long ago as the 19th Century. This is a tribute to the scholarship of the participating authors and thus, a commendation of this interesting volume' Bridget M.
