Entomopathogenic bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis andB. sphaericus) are increasingly used as biopesticides to controllarval insect populations which are either agricultural or forestrypests and to reduce those which as adults are vectors of severe humandiseases. This new book, the first since 1993 to address all aspects ofentomopathogenic bacteria, provides undergraduate and graduatestudents as well as research scientists with a complete, modern viewof this important group of bacteria. The authors, chosen for their sustained contributions to the field,cover both fundamental and applied research in this area. The maintopics include bacterial ecology and taxonomy, toxin diversity,activity and mode of action, regulation and environment of the genes,safety and ecotoxicology, production and field application of thebacteria, and outbreaks of resistant populations. The book concludeswith the most recent data obtained on transgenic biotechnology andaddresses environmental impact issues.
