Harris (entomology, Texas A&M U.), Smith (biology, Hood College) and Duffus (U.S. Department of Agriculture's Crop Improvement Research Unit) present 18 chapters that explore recent research in pathogen-vector-host transmission systems involving insect-transmitted plant viruses. Four major themes are represented: virus localization in plants and vectors;, elucidating transmission mechanisms; molecular aspects of virus-vector interactions; and ecology, epidemiology, and control. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

In Virus-Insect-Plant Interactions, the world's leading scientists discuss the latest breakthroughs in understanding the biological and ecological factors that define these complex transmission systems and how this knowledge might be used to our advantage in producing innovative, user and environmentally friendly approaches to controlling the spread of plant pathogens by insects. This is an invaluable reference work for researchers, teachers, and students. There are many quick-reference figures and tables, the contents pages include individual chapter abstracts, and each chapter ends with its own bibliography.
