This handbook gives a comprehensive and copious illustrated
description, with original art work, of the most common diseases in
laboratory reared insect colonies, comprising Viruses
(Baculoviridae, Reoviridae, Poxviridae, Iridoviridae); Bacteria
(Bacillaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Enterobacteriaceae); Rickettsia;
Fungi and Microsporidia and Protozoa. Gregarine and Coccidian
parasitoids are also depicted. Manuals for the diagnostic of insect
diseases have been published in the 90 s, however, these were
intended for professional insect pathologists or for proficient
training in invertebrate pathology, hence requiring some scientific
background in insect pathology. Currently, most guides are web
based, not comprehensive and solely addressing the most common
diseases in a particular insect, or group of insects, reared in
laboratory facilities. A comprehensive and proficient practical
handbook for students and technicians working with insect reared
colonies is lacking in the current literature.
