Welcome to the JSAEZ

　The official website of the Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology provides information on our society and its activities as much as possible. The Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology membership is composed of approximately 1,700 researchers that study insects, mites, spiders, nematodes, birds and other animals. These researchers are engaged in both basic and applied research activities for plant and animal protection, especially pest control, environmental preservation, utilization of insects and other related areas. The insects and animals studied by members of our society are familiar in our daily life and many people are interested in specimen collections, ecological photography, and other related activities. Moreover, these organisms are often used as teaching materials for lectures and experiments in biology.

The Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology

The Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology (JSAEZ) was founded in 1957, following a merger of the Japanese Society for Applied Zoology, founded in 1929, and the Nippon Society of Applied Entomology, founded in 1938. Membership is open to all researchers in the fields of applied entomology and applied zoology including acarology and nematology, as well as pesticides and their application machinery. The society was incorporated in April 2017.

The Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology publishes two journals, the Applied Entomology and Zoology, an international journal published in English, and the Japanese Journal of Applied Entomology and Zoology, which is published in Japanese. Both journals are published quarterly, in February, May, August, and November.
