The Biology of NematodesThe Biology of Nematodes synthesizes knowledge of the biology of free-living, plant-parasitic, and animal-parasitic nematodes. Contributed works by recognized researchers apply groundbreaking molecular techniques, many of which resulted from work on Caenorhabditis elegans, toward new approaches to the study of nematode worms. Topics covered include: ̈ Systematics and phylogeny ̈ Neuromuscular physiology ̈ Locomotion ̈ Sense organs ̈ Behavior ̈ Aging ̈ The nematode genome ̈ Survival strategies ̈ Immunology ̈ Epidemiology ̈ Structure and organization ̈ Gametes and fertilization ̈ Development ̈ Feeding, digestion, and metabolism |

I had Roundworms & can't firgure out how since all my food is well cooked,body cleanseness,don't have pets.I don't understand where they came from.Since we're created from the ground could we have these parasites in our bodies already?I've never been bother with worms before nor my children,grands or great-grands.I'm 57 & never seen the likes of this.
