  • to provide grants to students and scientists to help defray the costs of publishing Journal Series Articles and other special publications of Nematological interest;
  • to provide grants to students for study, for travel, and to participate in ONTA Annual meetings;
  • to provide assistance to scientists to encourage creative thought and to assist in the early development of innovations in Nematology and their applications.

We invite you to make a note of these dates in your diary and to come and participate in this important meeting of nematologists from the Americas and other tropical regions of the world. We would like also to remind you that the last joint meeting of ONTA and SBN was 13 years ago in 1995 in Pousada do rio Quente, in Goiás State. Do not miss this opportunity! More information about the event will be provided in due course on our website.

Publications

Nematropica, an international scientific journal of tropical and subtropical nematology, is published semiannually by ONTA. Contributions describing nematological research in temperate regions are also considered if they are of general interest. Articles on plant-parasitic, entomophilic and free-living nematodes are equally welcome. Manuscripts can be written in Spanish or English.
Contact: Nematropica Editor, Katheryn Lawrence

Contributors to Nematropica are billed for page charges to partially pay printing expenses. The printing charge for up to six pages of text and figures is US$115. A charge of $24 is made per full page of photographs and graphs, and there is a $40 composition charge per page of tables. In some cases, page charges can be waived if authors provide documentation from their organization verifying insufficient funding for manuscript publication.

The ONTA Newsletter is available in hard copy or by E-mail in English and Spanish versions. Treasurer and Newsletter Editor is Renato Inserra (inserra@doacs.state.fl.us).

The ONTA Website (www.ontaweb.org) is maintained regularly, and contents of past and present issues of Nematropica and the newsletters can be found there.
