The Biology of Nematodes

The Biology of Nematodes
By Donald L Lee

• Publisher: CRC


• Number Of Pages: 648


• Publication Date: 2002-01-10


• ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415272114


• ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415272117

Product Description:

Nematode worms are amongst the commonest and most widely distributed animals on Earth. Many species cause serious diseases of humans and livestock and as such are responsible for much economic loss in agriculture. However, almost all animals and plants are susceptible to attack by parasitic nematodes. Although they are probably best known as parasites, most nematodes are free-living and occur in enormous numbers in almost every habitat suitable for life. Although many parasitic species have been extensively studied because of their medical, veterinary or agricultural importance, the most thoroughly studied nematode is the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the complete genome of which has now been elucidated.
This multi-authored reference text has an international list of contributors and aims to synthesize our knowledge of most aspects of the biology of free-living, plant parasitic and animal-parasitic nematodes. The use of molecular techniques, many of which have arisen from work on Caenorhabditis elegans, is increasingly opening up new approaches to the study of nematodes and this is reflected in several chapters in this book. Topics covered include:
* Systematics and phylogeny
* Neuromuscular physiology
* Locomotion
* Sense Organs
* Behaviour
* Ageing
* The nematode genome
The Biology of Nematodes is a suitable text for graduate students and for research scientists working on parasitic and free-living nematodes from the point of view of agriculture, control, helminthology, immunology, medical and veterinary parasitology, molecular biology, nematology, plant pathology and zoology.

World Class Parasites: Volume 10 - Schistosomiasis

World Class Parasites: Volume 10 - Schistosomiasis



W. Evan Secor, Daniel G. Colley "World Class Parasites: Volume 10 - Schistosomiasis"
Springer | 2004-11-19 | ISBN: 038723277X | 235 pages | PDF | 4.2 MB

This book provides insights into the research and programs currently related to schistosomiasis, and uses these insights to project into future years of work on schistosomiasis, from research to public health interventions. A secondary goal is to initiate conversations among those working on schistosomiasis about the future of their field, and by doing so lead to constructive efforts to identify and address the most critical questions and challenges related to schistosomiasis. The first 4 chapters address schistosome phylogenetics, gene expression, and the overall genome. The next 3 chapters explore the host-schistosome interaction at the larval to adult worm interface. The following 3 chapters explore the development of the host immune response to eggs, granuloma formation and factors affecting the development and regulation of immunopathology. The next 4 chapters address public health concerns, and concludes with a chapter addressing the schisms that sometimes exist between basic research to implementation of control schemes.
