By George O. Poinar Jr., Gerard M. Thomas (auth.)

This handbook used to be ready for the analysis of insect illnesses as a result of infectious brokers. The brokers (or pathogens) incorporated listed here are fungi, protozoans, micro organism, viruses, and rickettsias. the current paintings used to be ready after a lot deliberation and dialogue with scholars and academics who felt a consultant of this sort will be important for diagnosing the microbial illnesses of bugs. It used to be modeled after a seminar given at the comparable topic at Berke­ ley, which had as its significant objective the popularity and identity of insect pathogens for sensible reasons. the current paintings in­ cludes a number of timesaving "short cuts" that have been built after years of expertise of diagnosing insect illnesses. even supposing emphasis is put on id, normal again­ flooring details at the a variety of pathogens can also be incorporated. therefore, below all the 5 teams of pathogens, the next themes are mentioned: (1) a number of kinds of institutions with bugs, (2) defini­ tion and type, (3) basic existence cycle, (4) features of diseased bugs, (5) elements affecting average infections, (6) equipment of exam, (7) isolation and cultivation, (8) vital taxonomic characters, (9) assessments for infectivity, (10) garage, (11) an illustrated key to the genera (or team when it comes to viruses), and (12) literature, in particular that concerning id. even supposing usually incorporated with insect pathogens, entomogenous nematodes usually are not coated the following on the grounds that illustrated keys to these gen­ period that infect bugs are already to be had (Poinar, 1975, 1977).
