Fifth International Congress of Nematology

The Fifth International Congress of Nematology (5ICN) will bring together researchers in the field of nematology to exchange information and ideas. Held every six years under the auspices of the International Federation of Nematology Societies, and in 2008 hosted by the Australasian Association of Nematologists, the Fifth International Congress of Nematology (5ICN) brings together all those interested in nematodes and their management. The aim of the conference is to foster collaboration, communication, awareness and research about nematodes through bringing all those concerned together to exchange information and ideas. Sessions may include: * nematodes associated with plants, insects and other invertebrates * systematics * molecular techniques * extension * quarantine * control options * biocontrol using nematodes * nematodes in terrestrial soils, freshwater habitats, marine and estuarine sediments * biogeography * ecological interactions.
