International Nematode Society

The International Nematode Society is a professional organization dedicated to studying nematodes, which are tiny, worm-like creatures found in soil, water, and plants. These organisms are important because they impact agriculture, ecology, and health—some pests damage crops, while others help control pests or break down organic matter. The society brings together scientists, researchers, and students worldwide to share knowledge, promote research, and improve understanding of nematodes. Through conferences, publications, and educational efforts, they support advancements in nematology, the study of these worms, contributing to better management of their roles in various ecosystems.
