Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The need to understand the functional biology of nematodes is central both to fundamental science and to practical aspects. Research on the biology of economically important cyst nematodes has frequently had the declared aim of identifying novel control targets based on disruption of the nematode life cycle. The knowledge from such research also provides a fascinating exposition of the complex aspects of host-parasite interactions and the sophisticated mechanisms involved. In this chapter we focus on three aspects, hatching, survival and sensory perception, and explore the links among them and the associated interfaces between the cyst nematodes and their hosts.
