Summary:

This book is a republication in one volume of the 10-part Commonwealth Institute of Helminthology's "Keys to the Nematode Parasites of Vertebrates", first published between 1974 and 1983. The first chapter provides a glossary of morphological terms and taxonomic keys to subclasses (Adenophorea and Secernentea) of nematode parasites of vertebrates. The next 13 chapters describe the taxonomy and provide keys to families, subfamilies, genera and subgenera of 27 superfamilies based on morphological and biological characteristics. These superfamilies include Dioctophymatoidea, Trichinelloidea, Muspiceoidea, Rhabditoidea, Diaphanocephaloidea, Ancylostomatoidea, Strongyloidea, Trichostrongyloidea, Metastrongyloidea, Oxyuroidea, Cosmocercoidea, Seuratoidea, Heterakoidea, Ascaridoidea, Subuluroidea, Camallanoidea, Dracunculoidea, Gnathostomatoidea, Physalopteroidea, Rictularoidea, Thelazioidea, Spiruroidea, Habronematoidea, Acuarioidea, Diplotriaenoidea, Aproctoidea and Filarioidea. It is hoped that, in addition to meeting the need for a means of identification of animal parasitic nematodes, the re-issuing of the keys will also facilitate investigations into both the evolution of nematodes and parasitism within the phylum by helping to link recent molecular insights with those provided to date in numerous morphological studies.
