“…The physiological activities of nematodes, such as respiration or excretion/secretion, have been expressed on various bases, including wet or dry weight [ 1 ], protein [ 2 ], surface area [ 3 ], and nematode number [ 4 ]. Each of these has a distinct significance.…”

Estimation of Surface Area and Volume of a Nematode from Morphometric Data

Nematode volume and surface area are usually based on the inappropriate assumption that the animal is cylindrical. While nematodes are approximately circular in cross section, the radius varies longitudinally. We use standard morphometric data to obtain improved estimates of volume and surface area based on (i) a geometrical approach and (ii) a Bézier representation of the nematode. These new estimators require only the morphometric data available from Cobb's ratios, but if fewer coordinates are available the geometric approach reduces to the standard estimates. Consequently, these new estimators are better than the standard alternatives.
