The first edition of Tanada and Kaya s "Insect Pathology" is the
standard reference in the field for researchers and both
undergraduate and graduate students and is well known worldwide
among entomologists. However, the field has seen rapid advances in
the 20 years since its original publication, and the new edition
brings together an essential and updated resource for researchers
with 13 chapters edited by Fernando E. Vega and Harry K. Kaya.
Many of these advances involve new insights on ecology as well
as phylogenetics and molecular biology of viruses, bacteria, fungi,
microsporidia, nematodes, and protists. All these aspects, as well
as basic biology, diagnosis, infectious process and pathogenesis,
host response, transmission and more, are covered by renowned
experts in their respective fields. The second edition of "Insect
Pathology" includes chapters on the history of this discipline,
principles of microbial control and epizootiology, diseases of
beneficial insects, host resistance, and Wolbachia. This thoroughly
illustrated and up-to-date revision will provide insect
pathologists, entomologists, microbiologists, mycologists,
nematologists, protistologists, ecologists, and practitioners of
biological control of insect pests with a solid and much-needed
reference.

the history of insect pathology, principles of microbial control
and epizootiology, host resistance, Wolbachia and diseases of
