Book excerpt: Around the globe, besides fungal and bacterial diseases, both virus and viroid diseases have acquired greater importance in the realm of plant pathology and call for effective management measures as they are responsible for heavy yield losses and are a matter of vital importance and concern to farmers, horticulturists, gardeners and foresters. Understanding disease epidemiology is of vital importance for formulating viable disease management practices in a given agro-ecosystem. The development and progress of plant disease epidemics are variable from region to region. Epidemiology is not a static process, but rather a dynamic course that varies with a change in the ecology, host, vector and virus systems.

Book excerpt: Plant virus and sub-viral pathogens pose severe constraints to the production of wide range of economically important crops worldwide. The crops raised both through true seed and vegetative propagated materials are affected with number of virus and virus-like diseases. The virus may enter into plants through seed planting materials or by vectors. Once the virus is in the field, it multiplies and spreads following definite patterns depending upon the nature of the vector and agro-meteorological conditions. Disease free crops and plants are great economic and social importance in feeding the world's population. Detection of virus and sub-viral agents at initial stages of infection is critical to reduce economic losses. For nearly two decades, ELISA and its variants played a major role in large scale virus testing and also in the production of virus-free planting materials.

Book excerpt: Due to increased travel in isolated regions, clinicians are more likely to encounter tropical diseases than ever before. This modern textbook comprehensively covers all tropical diseases. Written by an internationally renowned group of contributors, it covers the pathogens, syndromes, and organ systems. It is profusely illustrated, including life cycles for all significant organisms. Discusses the principles of parasite biology, epidemiology, and analyses diagnostic approaches to syndromes such as fever, rash, eosinophilia, and anaemia. Covers a full range of tropical diseases including those caused by bacterial, mycobacterial, spirochetal, chlamydial, parasitic, rickettsial and viral infections. Employs a consistent chapter organisation for each pathogen, beginning with the organism and its history, taxonomy and epidemiology, and progressing through its pathogenesis and immunology to diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, and prevention. Visually clarifies the interrelationships between parasites, humans, and the ecology with 30 detailed life-cycle drawings. Reviews all the latest developments on the immunology, pathogenesis, and genetics of virulence, as well as the newest molecular approaches to diagnosis and control. Includes maps detailing specific diseases indigenous to certain parts of the world, and an abundance of figures, algorithms, and tables. Enables further researching with over 14,000 references.
