{"product_id":"insect-symbiosis-volume-3","title":"Insect Symbiosis, Volume 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe associations between insects and microorganisms, while pervasive and of paramount ecological importance, have been relatively poorly understood. The third book in this set, \u003cstrong\u003eInsect Symbiosis, Volume 3\u003c\/strong\u003e, complements the previous volumes in exploring this somewhat uncharted territory. Like its predecessors, \u003cstrong\u003eVolume 3\u003c\/strong\u003e illustrates how symbiosis research has important ramifications for evolutionary biology, microbiology, parasitology, physiology, genetics, and animal behavior, and is especially relevant to the control of agricultural and disease-carrying pests worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInsect Symbiosis, Volume 3\u003c\/strong\u003e, includes pioneering chapters on Paratransgenesis in termites, Bacterial symbionts in \u003cem\u003eanopheles \u003c\/em\u003espp. and other mosquito vectors, Endosymbionts of lice, and the Structure and function of the bacterial community associated with the Mediterranean fruit fly. These individual studies suggest practical applications in pest control involving novel, pesticide-free, biological control approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new volume adds to the growing body of knowledge on the ubiquitous endosymbiont \u003cem\u003eWolbachia.\u003c\/em\u003e This bacterial genus and its potential as a weapon against insect pests and vectors have been covered in the first two volumes of\u003cstrong\u003e Insect Symbiosis. Volume 3 \u003c\/strong\u003econtains chapters on \u003cem\u003eWolbachia \u003c\/em\u003eand anopheles mosquitoes, Feminizing Wolbachia and the evolution of sex determination in isopods, and \u003cem\u003eWolbachia\u003c\/em\u003e–induced sex reversal in Lepidoptera. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines symbiotic relationships in the context of how host organisms recognize their own cells as self and other cells or potentially parasitic or pathogenic organisms as nonself, allowing researchers to make predictions of compatible and incompatible interactions. Following in the tradition of the first two volumes, this book serves as a great reference on host-parasitic relationships for professionals from a broad range of disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224979460440,"sku":"9781420064100","price":248.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781420064100.jpg?v=1770120041","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/insect-symbiosis-volume-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
