Epizootiology Of Insect Diseases Edited by James R. Fuxa and Yoshinori Tanada Contains the most extensive consideration to date of general principles, definitions, methods for research, modeling, influencing factors, area–wide patterns and groups of diseases, and applied aspects. Coverage spans four major areas. The first introduces general terminology and methodology from other disciplines, specific methodology for quantification, and modeling; the second evaluates and reviews key factors such as host population, pathogen population, environment, and transmission. Disease groups are addressed in the penultimate coverage, and the final section discusses practical aspects of disease enhancements. 1987 (0 471–87812–X) 555 pp. Innovative Approaches to Plant Disease Control Edited by Ilan Chet Brings together alternative approaches and methods which have potential for effective control of diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Three major concepts of disease control are discussed: different biological control systems, their possible mechanisms, potential application, and genetic improvement; biochemical and physiological manipulations in plants in order to include resistance and reduce disease damage; and molecular biology and the potential of genetic engineering in inducing plant resistance by the introduction of foreign genes. 1987 (0 471–80962–4) 372 pp. Vegetable Diseases and Their Control Second Edition Arden F. Sherf and Alan A. MacNab Here is an in–depth look at the nature and control of crop diseases. The book covers a full range of plant diseases and their cycles, including bacterial, fungal, viral, nematode, and abiotic blights. The introduction to each disease usually includes a brief history and the first report of the disease, geographical distribution, prevalence, importance as reflected in some of the most severe occurrences, and additional common disease names. For each crop or group of crops, the material presents all the significant diseases and their control measures, including resistant varieties, fungicides, crop rotation, and seed treatments. 1986 (0 471–05860–2) 728 pp.
