Accurate and detailed information on the fundamental biology of free living and plant-parasitic nematodes has three important functions. Firstly, it is needed to gain an understanding of their highly complex ecology. Secondly, since many plant-parasitic nematodes are major agricultural pests, it also greatly enhances attempts to implement crop protection strategies. Finally, information on physiology and biochemistry will have particular relevance to studies of gene function in nematodes. Written by leading research workers from Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand, this up-to-date reference book reviews and integrates all the current research findings on the physiology and biochemistry of these organisms, including the molecular information which has accumulated in recent years. It is aimed at researchers, advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers in plant nematology, parasitology, plant pathology and agricultural zoology and should be a reference source for students of animal physiology, crop protection, zoology and pest management.

<br> There is . . . a scarcity of updated information that is compiled in one volume on plant-parasitic nematode physiology and biochemistry. The authors of this book have presented a 'very good condensation' of research on free-living nematodes and a meticulous review of salient research on the molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology of the plant-parasitic nematodes. The book contains 15 review chapters. . . . The authors are world-renowned experts in their field of nematology, and so they were able to present excellent reviews in a concise and well-focused manner. Their citations provide multiple access routes to key literature. . . . [T]he book is an excellent resource for those who need an introduction or overview of the latest developments in research on free-living and plant-parasitic nematodes. I would enthusiastically recommend this book to graduate students and other interested scientists in biological and agricultural fields . . . --The Quarterly Review of Biology<br>
