内容説明

This state-of-the-art volum provides a previously unavailable single reference source of prime importance to all concerned with economic and medical entomology, biocontrol research and teaching, and pertinent aspects of clearance for field use at national and international levels. The editors, chairpersons of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology's Safety Working Group since 1971, have collaborated with twenty researchers to compile this reference. The book presents, through an internationally diverse group, authoritative analysis of all safety aspects from the standpoints of systematics"viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoal and helminthic. Included here is the currently controversial issue of genetic manipulation. Other topics covered and non-target impact, compatibility with other biocontrols, geographical considerations and registration matters. This book is especially timely because of the recent addition of the first microbial control agent to the the mosquito/blackfly control armory. There is also the prospect of additional microbial weapons that are highly selective as well as effective. Safety of Microbial Insecticides is a key source of information for investigators who have previously had to wade through an enormous amount of scattered literature. This volume is invaluable to those in forestry, agricultural entomologists, and all working towards disease vector suppression.
