The temporal requirement for a specific inductive signal is unknown. Temperature shift experiments have shown that the induction of resistance mediated by the Mi locus in tomato is restricted to the first 24-48 h after infection by Meloidogyne L2, showing that one aspect of the host-parasite interaction at least is temporally restricted (Dropkin, 1969). In the...

LBPs are likely to have conventional roles in the energy metabolism and transport of lipids in nematodes for membrane construction, etc. Many parasitic helminths have deficiencies in the synthesis of some lipids and so their lipid acquisition, transport and storage mechanisms clearly need to be specialized and therefore pertinent to the host-parasite relationship (Barrett, 1981). From a practical point of view, lipid transporter proteins may also be important in the delivery of anthelmintic drugs to their target most anthelmintics are hydrophobic and if they do not distribute to their site of action within the parasites by simple diffusion across and along membranes, then the parasite s own carrier proteins may be involved.

In the general spectrum of host-parasite relationships, there is considerable parasite-induced host variability resulting in perturbed host physiology, biochemistry, and developmental behavior (8, 21, 22). There is a wide range of speculation that the parasite has the capacity to modulate or regulate host systems (8, 10, 23). It is clear that the C. sonorensis polydnavirus induces developmental arrest in H. virescens larva (18, 24,...
