The Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology was founded in 1957, as a result of a merger between the Japanese Society for Applied Zoology (Journal: Oyo-Doubutsugaku Zasshi), founded in 1929, and the Nippon Society of Applied Entomology (Journal: Oyo-Kontyu), founded in 1938. Membership is open to researchers who are interested in the fields of applied entomology and zoology, including acarology, nematology, pesticides and pest control equipment.

The Society publishes two separate quarterly journals in February, May, August, and November: Japanese Journal of Applied Entomology and Zoology (in Japanese) Coden: NIPTAR, ISSN 0021-4914, and Applied Entomology and Zoology (in English) Coden: APEZAW, ISSN 0003-6862.

Inquiries regarding membership and subscriptions should be addressed to the administrative office.
