The 300 known viruses that affect invertebrates, mostly insects, are important for research and for pest control. Twelve studies review the advances in the knowledge and use of these viruses made possible by biotechnological processes. Special attention is given to the baculoviridae family, but others discussed include Entomopoxviridae, Iridoviridae, Polydaviridae, and Nodaviridae. Of interest to virologists, biotechnicians, microbiologists, biocontrol specialists, and graduate students in these and related fields. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
