This paper describes how the well characterized free living nematode, C. elegans, can be exploited as a tool to study parasitism. Computational and experimental approaches using C. elegans to identify and analyze cloned parasitism genes are presented, and the utility of C. elegans biology as an approach to reveal pathways likely to be important for parasites is discussed.

Here the basic tools for performing genetics on soybean cyst nematode, including development of breeding lines, crossing methodologies and strategies, are presented. It is shown that parasitic ability is inherited in a Mendelian fashion, and that multiple independent dominant and recessive nematode loci condition host resistance breaking of distinct soybean genotypes.
