Description for Use of Microbes for Control and Eradication of Invasive Arthropods
Hardback. This is a diverse presentation about the use of arthropod-specific pathogens for control and eradication of invasive arthropod species. Basic concepts supporting use of pathogens for microbial control are covered as well as societal and environmental concerns. Editor(s): Hajek, Ann E.; Glare, Travis; O'Callaghan, Maureen. Series: Progress in Biological Control. Num Pages: 382 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSV; TVP. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 22.

One of the main reasons that we organized this edited volume is to increase - ternational awareness of the growing use of invertebrate pathogens for control and eradication of invasive arthropods. As the numbers of invasive species continues to rise, more insect pathologists have been involved with work on their control using entomopathogens. In fact, this is not a new area of focus for insect pathologists; work on microbes against invasive arthropods began more than a century ago with classicalbiologicalcontrolintroductionsofentomopathogenicfungiagainstinvasive species in the 1890s.

Reviews for Use of Microbes for Control and Eradication of Invasive Arthropods
From the reviews: “Chapters on ecology, eradication and control methods, and public policy are written by experts who collectively address a wide diversity of pests targeted with many kinds of microbes in many parts of the world. … The focus here on microbes and exotic pests is novel. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students through professionals.” (M. K. ... Read more
