Background and Interests
 
After completing his Ph.D. in Entomology/Nematology at the University of California, Davis, Professor McClure spent three years on the faculty at Rutgers University. He joined the University of Arizona in 1968 where he currently teaches Plant Nematology (PLP 516), and a new course, "Practical Plant Pathology" which is under development for the Fall of 2004. His research interests include nematode biology, ultrastructure, host-parasite interactions, and control. (For a list of selected publications, please see below)
