The EURL organizes Proficiency Tests (PT) on detection and identification of regulated quarantine plant-parasitic nematodes in order to assess and ensure the reliability and accuracy of the analyses carried out by the National Reference Laboratories (NRLs).
Proficiency tests are performed under accreditation according to the ISO 17043 standard.
Proficiency tests registration, participation and information are accessed by the following link: https://leila.anses.fr/
The European Union Reference Laboratory for Plant Parasitic Nematodes yearly organizes a workshop, especially intended for the National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) in the European Union. The purpose of these workshops is to inform the participants about the activities of the EURL, to present and discuss the results of Proficiency Tests (PT), to present and discuss scientific research projects and to exchange information on the European Union legislation, methods, and other relevant subjects.

Images of Plant Parasitic Nematodes
Images of EU-regulated and non-regulated species are available on this webpage. These images can aid in the morphological identification of some species of plant-parasitic nematodes if they are used as reference material alongside the appropriate identification protocols. The use of these images should be made in conjunction with the consultation of identification protocols.
This material is reserved for NRL staff, and we are counting on you to ensure that it is not disclosed outside your laboratory.
Please do not change the name of the files as they contain the species name, name of the author, and the image reference number.
These images are under copyright protection any use of these images must be with the prior consent of the EURL for Plant Parasitic Nematodes
(contact at: eurl.nematodes@anses.fr), and the EURL must be appropriately referenced in any publications containing these images.
