Prof. Shamim Jairajpuri Selected for Al-Ameen Community Leadership Award






Al-Ameen Educational Society, Bangalore (Karnataka) has selected Professor M. Shamim Jairajpuri of Aligarh Muslim University for its prestigious ‘Al-Ameen All India Community Leadership Award for 2009’.

This award, in recognition of his services, will serve to inspire the young generation who may emulate the services rendered by him as an example for uplift of the downtrodden Muslims.Al-Ameen Educational Society has also invited Prof. Jairajpuri to deliver a Memorial Lecture on Hazrat Tipu Sultan as a topic of his choice at the award ceremony tentatively fixed for the month of May 2010.

Mononchida
The Predatory Soil Nematodes
W. Ahmad and M.S. Jairajpuri


In production
Expected: April 2010

Series: Nematology Monographs and Perspectives, 7
Series Editors: David J. Hunt and Roland N. Perry

ISBN-13: 978 90 04 17464 1
ISBN-10: 90 04 17464 8

Cover: Hardback
Number of pages: 300 pp.

List price: € 134.00 / US$ 198.00




A unique treatise on the morphology and taxonomy of the order Mononchida. The mononchs represent a group of predatory nematodes which are natural enemies of other soil micro-organisms that include plant parasitic nematodes also. The book includes detailed morphology of mononchs with emphasis on characters of taxonomic importance. Detailed diagnoses of the ordinal and familial groups and all the genera known till date are provided. A brief description of type species of each genus is followed by a complete list of all the valid species and their synonymies and an up-to-date key to species. The book is heavily illustrated with line drawings, microphotographs and SEM photographs of type or representative species. A complete bibliography until 2009 and an index are included.

Prof. Wasim Ahmad (NEMATOLOGY, AMU) Felicitated



Prof. Wasim Ahmad of the Section of Nematology, Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University was recently felicitated by the Zoological Society of India for his commendable research activities and outstanding contribution in the field of Zoology at the 20th All India Congress of Zoology, held at Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Mumbai recently. The Zoology Congress was jointly organized by the Zoological Society of India, the Helminthological Society of India and the Indian Fisheries Association.
Prof. Ahmad is an internationally acknowledged expert on the taxonomy of soil inhabiting nematodes of the Orders Dorylaimida, Mononchida and Tylenchida. He has not only described several hundred new taxa of nematodes from around the world but has also given new definition and classification of higher taxonomic groups based on his morphological, ultra structural and molecular studies. His recent studies on phylogenetic relationship of mononchs using 18s rDNA sequence has given a new insight into the classification of this group. He has also contributed significantly to the functional diversity and food web diagnostics of soil inhabiting nematodes in natural forests. The major part of his work has been published in top nematology journals of the world, such asNematologica/Nematology from The Netherlands; Revue de Nematologie/Fundamentals and Applied Nematologyfrom France; International Journal of Nematology from UK; Journal of Nematode Morphology and Systematicsfrom Spain Nematologea Mediterranea from Italy and Journal of Natural History, UK His monumental book entitled “Dorylaimida; Free-living, predaceous and plant parasitic nematodes” published by RJ Brill, Leiden, The Netherlands is a unique world-wide reference for study of dorylaim nematodes. A similar treatise by him onMononchida has just been published by EJ Brill, The Netherlands. He has visited a large number of countries of the world as an expert for the study of dorylaim and mononchid nematodes and is recipient of prestigious visiting fellowships from Royal Society (London). DFG (Germany), TWAS (Italy), JSPS (Japan), Erasmus Mundus (European Union), CAS (China), KOSEF (Korea), RMBR (Singapore), and many others. He is on the editorial board of several prestigious journals published from India and abroad and is reviewer of papers published in most of the Nematology Journals of the world. Prof. Ahmad is a Fellow of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Linnaean Society of London.
