Roundworms (Nematoda) is a group of mostly parasitic
worms found pretty much everywhere. Naturally, Russia and the former Soviet
Union haven't been spared the tremors. “Nematodes and their role in the
Meiobenthos” is a book by T A Platonova and V V Galtsova. The Russian-language
version was published by Nauka in Leningrad back in 1976, while the translation
is dated 1985. For some reason, it's printed in Faridabad, India. The book is
marked Volume XV (XXIII) of “Studies on Marine Fauna”, or rather “Issledovanie
Fauny Morei”. It includes two highly technical sections, “Lower Enoplida of the
Seas of the Soviet Union” and “Free-living marine nematodes as a component of
the meiobenthos of Chupa inlet of the White Sea”. The illustrations are
black-and-white drawings of (scary) diagnostic characters of nematodes. We're talking parasitical worms
here, remember?
