This review concentrates on areas of the nematode cuticular surface topographically close to the cephalic sensory organs and proposes that specific molecules localized on these areas of the cuticle play a subtle but vital role in the phenomenon of recognition. The role of surface carbohydrates in chemotaxis and the localization of surface sugars, particularly mannose and sialic acid, are discussed. Practical applications (in nematode control) are briefly considered.
