The participants will be attached to several laboratories in Japan, i.e. Tokyo University of Agriculture (NODAI) Setagaya and Atsugi campuses, and Tsukuba Post-entry Quarantine Centre & Yokohama Plant Protection Research Centre both under the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF)

Through this attachment, the participants would be able to gain more in-depth knowledge on taxonomical identification of weevils of quarantine importance, to broaden their diagnostic capability, to increase competency to handle all pest diagnosis, and to widen their experience on weevil collection and preservation. The acquired information would be useful to build up the confidence and skills of the participants thus contributing to capacity development of their Institution or their representative country.
