Like its predecessors in the set, Insect Symbiosis, Volume 3 illustrates the important ramifications symbiosis research has for evolutionary biology, microbiology, parasitology, physiology, genetics, and animal behavior. It is especially relevant to the control of agricultural and disease-carrying pests worldwide. Volume 3 includes pioneering chapters on paratransgenesis in termites, bacterial symbionts in Anopheles spp. and other mosquito vectors, endosymbionts of lice, and the...

Like its predecessors in the set, Insect Symbiosis, Volume 3 illustrates the important ramifications symbiosis research has for evolutionary biology, microbiology, parasitology, physiology, genetics, and animal behavior. It is especially relevant to the control of agricultural and disease-carrying pests worldwide. Volume 3 includes pioneering chapters on paratransgenesis in termites, bacterial symbionts in Anopheles spp. and other mosquito vectors, endosymbionts of lice, and the structure and function of the bacterial community associated with the Mediterranean fruit fly. These studies suggest practical applications in pest control involving novel, pesticide-free, biologically controlled approaches.
