Did you know that nematodes (phylum Nematoda), also called roundworms, are one of the most diverse animals, both in number of species, estimated for over 500 000, and number of individuals as well?Did you know that nematodes can live almost everywhere, in oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, plants, animals and humans, from poles to the equator, from the deepest ocean sites to the highest mountains?
Did you know that the smallest nematode, Hapalomus minutus, is just 82 µm long, and the largest one, Placentonema gigantisima, has a body length of 8.4 m?
Did you know that the only survivor on the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster was a nematode?
Did you know that 7 Nobel prizes were obtained for researches on just one nematode species, Caenorhabdithis elegans, in less than 10 years?
Did you know that some nematodes can undergo cryptobiosis, and stay in that "sleeping-almost-dead condition" for more than 40 years, and, did you know the fact that, they are truly amazing?
