Principles of Insect Pathology, a text written from a pathological
viewpoint, is intended for graduate-level students and researchers
with a limited background in microbiology and in insect diseases.
The book explains the importance of insect diseases and illuminates
the complexity and diversity of insect-microbe relationships.
Separate sections are devoted to * the major insect pathogens,
their characteristics, and their life cycles * the homology that
exists among invertebrate, vertebrate, and plant pathogens * the
humoral and cellular defense systems of the host insect as well as
the evasive and suppressive activities of insect disease agents *
the structure and function of passive barriers * the heterogeneity
in host susceptibility to insect diseases and associated toxins *
the mechanisms regulating the spread and persistence of diseases in
insects. Principles of Insect Pathology combines the disciplines of
microbiology (virology, bacteriology, mycology, protozoology),
pathology, and immunology within the context of the insect host,
providing a format which is understandable to entomologists,
microbiologists, and comparative pathologists.
