Nematodes are small multicellular organisms that have been used as
biological models since the 1960s. For example, Caenorhabditis
elegans is a free-living nematode worm, about 1mm in length, that
lives in temperate soil environments. It is made up of about 1000
cells, and has a short life cycle of only two weeks. It was the
first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced.
The book summarizes the importance of nematodes as model organisms
in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology,
pharmacology, nutrition, ecology and parasitology. Of interest to a
broad audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines, this book is
useful for biologists working on comparative studies to investigate
biological processes across organisms; medical scientists and
pharmacologists for exploration of drugs and medicine (including
the use of genome editing to eliminate diseases); ecologists
considering nematodes as indicators for environment changes; and
parasitologists for host-parasite interactions. Many other
researchers can use this book as a benchmark for the broad
implications of nematology research on other aspects of science.
