The articles included in this work pertain to the taxonomy, biology and ecology of nematode parasites of insects, as well as their spatial distribution and certain biological indices. Several articles describe methods of culturing nematodes on natural and artificial mediums, and the possible utilization of entomopathogenic nematodes as means of biological insect-pest control. Some articles discuss the role of insects as intermediate hosts of helminths of vertebrates.
