The physiological effects of two phenolic nematocides, chavicol and demethyleugenol, on C. elegans were studied by [Ca^<2+>]_i measurement using a microspectrofluorometer and an image analyzer. Chavicol and demethyleugenol, which had similar effects on the nematodes, caused a significant elevation of [Ca^<2+>]_i in the intestinal tract. The image analysis suggested that these phenolic nematocides caused the destruction of cell membrane and the leakage of cytosol from the intestinal tract into the pseudocoelomic cavity.
