Many invertebrates are serious pests of agriculture (e.g., mites
and locusts), vectors of disease (e.g., mosquitoes and aquatic
snails) and venomous (e.g., scorpions), whilst others are
beneficial to humans as pollinators, food sources, and
detritivores. Despite their obvious ecological, medical, and
economic importance, this is the first comprehensive review of
invertebrate diseases to be available within a single volume.
Concurrent molecular and bioinformatics developments over the last
decade have catalysed a renaissance in invertebrate pathology.
High-throughput sequencing, handheld diagnostic kits, and the move
to new technologies have rapidly increased our understanding of
invertebrate diseases, generating a large volume of fundamental and
applied research on the topic. An overview is now timely and this
authoritative work assembles an international team of the leading
specialists in the field to review the main diseases and pathologic
manifestations of all the major invertebrate groups. Each chapter
adopts a common plan in terms of its scope and approach to achieve
a succinct and coherent synthesis. Invertebrate Pathology is aimed
at graduate students and researchers in the fields of disease
ecology, invertebrate biology, comparative immunology, aquaculture,
fisheries, veterinary science, evolution, and conservation. It will
be particularly useful for readers new to the field as well as a
broader interdisciplinary audience of practitioners and resource
managers.
