Description

This text aims to provide readers with a balanced cross-section of current developments within the research on invertebrate cell culture. Attention is focused on such topics as: the biochemistry and physiology of cultured invertebrate cells; aspects of virus infection; novel cultivation methods; assays of viruses affecting shrimp and insect cells; engineering of invertebrate cells for the production of baculovirus pesticides; application of microgravity to in vitro cell cultivation; and other aspects of biotechnology. The large body of information brings into focus the significant recent achievements in the laboratories of Africa, America, Europe and Asia.
