Summary:

This book with twelve chapters shows that research in nematodes has basically progressed from investigating the physiological and biochemical methods utilized by some species to ensure survival of adverse conditions to incorporate the more recent molecular advances. It is the intention of this book not only to reflect some of the older research that is still relevant and important but also to link it with the more recent advances facilitated by molecular biology. Essentially, the book examines ways by which a nematode can suspend development during unfavourable conditions and ensure survival.

Contents:

1 Survival of Parasitic Nematodes outside the Host; 2 Survival of Plant-parasitic Nematodes inside the Host; 3 Survival of Animal-parasitic Nematodes inside the Animal Host; 4 The Genome of Pristionchus pacificus and Implications for Survival Attributes; 5 The Dauer Phenomenon; 6 Gene Induction and Desiccation Stress in Nematodes; 7 Longevity and Stress Tolerance of Entomopathogenic Nematodes; 8 Cold Tolerance; 9 Molecular Analyses of Desiccation Survival in Antarctic Nematodes; 10 Thermobiotic Survival; 11 Osmotic and Ionic Regulation; 12 Biochemistry of Survival.
