Reviews

Overall, the book is a useful summary of nematode management and utilisation and the chapters are written by leading international authorities. It will be an important volume for researchers and students, primarily in the applied area of nematode control and utilisation. -- Parasitology News Reviews of the two volumes: With 25 chapters written authoritatively, there are probably no other two books that, together, cover such a breadth of topics on nematodes. -- Trends in Parasitology
