Wageningen Nematode Identification Course

The traditional Nematode Identification Course offered by the University of Wageningen (The Netherlands) every year will take place in Wageningen from 04 to 15 of February 2008.

The course, running since 1985, is delivered in English due to the high international interest and takes two weeks full-time. There are no specific demands to follow this course but it is expected that participants are aware of the general anatomy and morphology of nematodes. The microscopic work will be alternated by oral presentations, also by guest speakers, and the possibility exists to extract nematodes from own samples. The course will be finished by a test for which the participants are asked to identify ten nematode specimens till species level. The course will be taught by Tom Bongers, assisted by Hanny van Megen and others.
