What is "nematology"

n. (context biology English) The branch of biology that studies nematode roundworms

Nematology is the scientific discipline concerned with the study of nematodes, or roundworms. Although nematological investigation dates back to the days of Aristotle or even earlier, nematology as an independent discipline has its recognizable beginnings in the mid to late 19th century.

Nematology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the study of nematodes.

In 1978, French zoologist Michel Luc established the Revue de Nématologie (soon renamed Fundamental and Applied Nematology) that fused with Nematologica in 1999 to become Nematology. The editors-in-chief are David Hunt ( CABI Europe) and Roland Perry ( Rothamsted Research).
