The Nematological Society of
Southern Africa (NSSA) is dedicated to advance the science of Nematology
in Southern Africa in both its fundamental and applied aspects. To serve
this purpose the Society acts as an agency for the exchange of information,
holds regular symposia and promotes and extends
knowledge in all phases of the subjects. The NSSA brings together scientists,
researchers and like-minded individuals from Africa who dedicate themselves
to the study of nematodes.
Nematodes (also called eelworms or roundworms) are the most abundant multicellular animals on earth. The focus of the NSSA is on plant-parasitic nematodes, but members from all fields of Nematology are welcomed. The society also organises a short course at the University of North West, sponsored by the VLIR-project. The George Martin memorial scholarship is awarded annually. The purpose of the scholarship is to promote Nematology in Southern Africa by assisting successful candidates to attend a recognised course in Nematology. |
