<p>This volume reviews our current knowledge and novel research areas on&nbsp;<i>Pochonia</i> <i>chlamydosporia</i>, a cosmopolitan fungus occurring in soils as a saprophyte yet capable of colonizing the rhizosphere of crops as an endophyte and behaving as a parasite of eggs of plant-parasitic nematodes.&nbsp;The book is divided into six sections containing 18 chapters, starting with a historical background chapter, followed by 16 chapters, each contributed by experts, concerning those key aspects necessary to work with this biocontrol agent in a multidisciplinary treatise. Topics covered include systematics, biology, nematode-fungus interactions, nematode management strategies, secondary metabolites, and other methods including more novel research areas such as molecular, –<i>omics</i>, plant growth enhancement and endophytic abilities of <i>P. chlamydosporia</i>. The final chapter deals with the future perspectives of <i>P. chlamydosporia</i> research.</p>
