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. This workshop provides a detailed introduction to secernentean taxonomy. It is aimed at researchers and students active in a range of disciplines such as soil ecology, biocontrol, nematode taxonomy and phylogeny, evolutionary parasitology or development and genetics of C. elegans and other nematode research models. A primary goal is the identification to genus level of species from the suborders Cephalobina, Rhabditina and Diplogastrina, and differentiation from easily confused outgroups.
