Five-day lecture and laboratory course on morphological identification of economically important plant parasitic nematodes in Tylenchida and Dorylaimida using dissecting, bright field and interference contrast microscopy.
Enrollment is limited.
After completing his graduate and postdoctoral work at North Carolina State University on morphology and taxonomy of nematode parasites of agricultural plants, Dr. Baldwin worked on regulatory and diagnostic nematology at the Florida Department of Agriculture. For the past 25 years at UCR, his teaching and research have been on nematode morphology, systematics and evolution. He has over 25 years of experience in electron microscopy, nematode systematics and field nematology, and is actively involved in the monographic revision of the Cephalobina. Irma De Ley, Ph.D., graduated from the University of the Philippines-Los Banos while teaching plant pathology and nematology at the University of Southern Mindanao. Dr. De Ley's training includes practical and taxonomical aspects of plant nematology.
