Identification
Guides for the Most Common Genera of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes
by J. D. Eisenback
This set of full-color guides is an invaluable resource
for teaching the identification of the most common genera
of plant-parasitic nematodes. Each guide contains a high
resolution light micrograph, a list of key features that
are useful for the identification, a general distribution,
the most common hosts, and a reference for two of the most
recent and useful keys to species within the genus. The
entire set contains more the 24 species of ectoparasites,
migratory endoparasites, semi-endoparasites, and endoparasites;
both males and females are illustrated whenever possible.
The collection of full-color plates, suitable for framing,
is contained in a notebook. In addition, a set suitable
for printing on a laser or ink jet printer is included on
a CD ROM. Purchase of the notebook set includes permission
to make a reasonable number of copies for teaching and other
educational uses. $150 plus shipping.
Nematology
Laboratory Investigations, Vol. 1 - Morphology and Taxonomy
by J. D. Eisenback
This manual consists
of 25 time-tested investigations on the morphology and taxonomy
of nematodes. Each lab has a brief introduction, clearly
stated objectives, a list of resources required, and a worksheet
outlining procedures for completing each exercise. The investigations
are clearly illustrated with line drawings, and key questions
are included. Sample chapters include: Gross Morphology,
Cuticular Markings, Cuticular Layering, Body Wall and Somatic
Muscles. The instructor may print copies of the labs for
each student from an included CD ROM. $150.00; CD only -
$120

Plant Resistance to Parasitic Nematodes
Edited by J L Starr, Department of Plant
Pathology & Microbiology, Texas A & M University,
USA, R Cook, Institute of Grassland & Environmental
Research, Aberystwyth, UK, and J Bridge, CABI Bioscience,
Egham, UK
Host plant resistance is one of the cornerstones upon which
integrated pest management is based. Improved pest management
is an essential element of sustainable agriculture. Resistance
to nematodes is currently under utilized, particularly in
developing countries. This practically orientated book describes
methods for evaluating the resistance and tolerance of plant
cultivars to parasitic nematodes, and provides specific
instructions on all phases of resistance screening. With
the current emphasis on decreasing the use of chemical nematicides,
this book is a timely addition to the subject.

Entomopathogenic Nematology
Edited
by R Gaugler, Department of Entomology, Rutgers University,
New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA
This book provides
a comprehensive review of entomopathogenic nematology. It
begins by reviewing fundamental biology and setting a taxonomic
foundation for nematodes and their bacterial symbionts.
Several chapters are devoted to functional processes involved
in parasitism and to nematode ecology. Later chapters describe
technological advances and control methodologies.

Tylenchida:
Parasites of Plants and Insects, 2nd Edition
M R Siddiqi,
formerly of CABI Bioscience, Egham, UK
This second edition of this standard reference work familiar
to all plant nematologists is therefore even more useful
than its predecessor published in 1986. The in-depth description
of the life histories of the genera of the Tylenchida have
been retained and brought up-to-date through the inclusion
of all the research carried out between the publication
of the last edition and this new edition. This expanded
edition includes detailed diagnoses of well over 200 genera
and familial and ordinal groups, and is well-illustrated
with drawings of type or representative species. These,
together with comprehensive lists of species and genera
and their synonymies provide the foundation for the status
and validation of each taxon within the Tylenchida. A considerable
amount of information is provided regarding the biology,
ecology and pathogenicity of these parasites.

Parasitic
Nematodes: Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Immunology
M
Kennedy, Division of Infection and Immunity, University
of Glasgow, UK and W Harnett, Department of Immunology,
University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK
Currently more
than one third of the world's population are infected with
parasitic nematodes, and infection of domestic animals and
crop plants remains a substantial drain on human wellbeing
and economies. An understanding of the structure and function
of genes, membrane and antigens of parasitic nematodes will
help develop strategies to eliminate them or reduce their
impact.
An up to date summary of this important and rapidly expanding
area of research.
No other published titles focus specifically on these aspects.
