Dear WormBook reader,

Anthelmintic drugs and nematicides: studies in Caenorhabditis elegans, by Lindy Holden-Dye and Robert Walker, has been added to the Disease models and drug discovery section. This chapter updates the 2007 chapter, Anthelmintic drugs, also by Holden-Dye and Walker. This chapter discusses the use of C. elegans as a model ‘parasite’, and reviews its use in the study of nematode control and as a platform for anthelmintic and nematicide discovery and development.

Please proceed to read this chapter and others on nematode biology at http://www.wormbook.org/. If you have any comments or suggestions, please submit them via the Feedback page on wormbook.org.

Thank you for your interest in WormBook.
