Both volumes of Parasites and Pathogens of Insects provide in-depth
coverage of the interface between insect parasites and pathogens
and hosts, and explore the relationships between these partners.
They emphasize biochemical and molecular interactions, basic
biology, and the roles of hormones, receptors, and other cellular
components in modulating interactions between host insects and
attacking agents. These topics also are assessed in relation to
biotechnology and biological control.
In the short term, these volumes fill a void in current literature
by emphasizing basic interactions at the biochemical and molecular
levels. In the long term, these interactions may provide avenues
for exploitation to enhance the rate of "beneficial" parasitism or
to reduce the rates of disease transmission and infection of
vertebrate hosts.
