Extract

No article involving the nematode cuticle can ignore the work of Donald Lee. Since the publication of his book Physiology of nematodes (Lee, 1965), he has provided us with an extensive knowledge of the structure, composition, maintenance and growth of a variety of nematode cuticles and has undoubtedly contributed a great deal to our understanding of this unique and diverse structure.
