The book consolidates the complete informations available to-date on the reported over 465 species (in addition to unclassified/unidentified and sp. inq.) described under about 75 genera, 25 families and 17 super families, on the bird (including poultry) nematodes from South Asia (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka). For each species, description, location, locality, material and relevant information are given. Majority of the species are also illustrated, with drawings taken from the original papers. In providing relevant data concerning all the hitherto described species of bird nematodes (which are otherwise scattered in many, often barely accessible journals, the book may be an indispensable source of information for subsequent revisions of taxonomy, as well as studies on the biology, ecology/zoogeology of bird nematodes from this region, including control of poultry nematodes.
