Wageningen's Nematoda Identification Course in 2009



The traditional Nematoda Identification Course offered by the Wageningen University will happen from 2nd to 13th of February 2009.

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 they expect 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.
