Reviews
"This book is a must-have for al those who want to describe new species of either Steinernema or Heterorhabditis. [...] The book provides monumental information to help identify these entomopathogenic nematodes and use them as biocontrol agents"
M. Rafiq Siddiqi, International Journal of Nematology (December 2007, vol 17 no. 2)
"The publication of this book is an event that will send very positive stimuli across this specific field
of zoology - EPN studies... This book will influence studies of entomopathogenic nematodes for years ahead. [Above all] it will make life easier for anyone intending to describe new EPN pecies or to isolate associated bacteria, and to use molecular techniques to study their phylogenetic links."
Sergei Spiridinov, Russian Journal of Nematology, vol 16 (2008) pp. 67

Volume 8 in the series, appearing in two parts, A and B, deals with the systematics of cyst nematodes of the subfamily Heteroderinae. Cyst nematodes are important pathogens causing extensive damage and significant yield loss to many crops in both temperate and tropical regions.
