This publication deals with the basic principles of insect population suppression and management. Its purpose is to develop a better understanding of the principles and mechanisms of different methods of control in relation to the dynamics of insect pest populations. Special emphasis is given to how these principles and mechanisms can be applied to slow down, stabilize, suppress, or eradicate target pest populations. Various control methods that are in use or being developed are analyzed critically, with special consideration given to ways that different techniques can be used simultaneously or sequentially to complement each other in developing ecologically acceptable insect control strategies.

Parasitic, bacterial and viral agents continue to challenge the welfare of humans, livestock, wild life and plants worldwide. The public health impact and financial consequences of these diseases are particularly hard on the already overburdened economies of developing countries especially in the tropics. Many of these disease agents utilize insect hosts (vectors) to achieve their transmission to mammals. In the past, these diseases were largely controlled by insecticide-based vector reduction strategies. Now, many of these diseases have reemerged in the tropics, recolonizing their previous range, and expanding into new territories previously not considered to be endemic. Habitat change, irrigation practices, atmospheric and climate change, insecticide and drug resistance as well as increases in global tourism, human traffic and commercial activities, have driven the reemergence and spread of vector borne diseases. While these diseases can be controlled through interventions aimed at both their vertebrate and invertebrate hosts, no effective vaccines exist, and only limited therapeutic prospects are available for their control in mammalian hosts. Molecular technologies such as transgenesis, which is the subject of this book, stand to increase the toolbox and benefit disease management strategies.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly method of pest control that integrates well into area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes. This book takes a generic, thematic, comprehensive, and global approach in describing the principles and practice of the SIT. The strengths and weaknesses, and successes and failures, of the SIT are evaluated openly and fairly from a scientific perspective. The SIT is applicable to some major pests of plant-, animal-, and human-health importance, and criteria are provided to guide in the selection of pests appropriate for the SIT. In the second edition, all aspects of the SIT have been updated and the content considerably expanded. A great variety of subjects is covered, from the history of the SIT to improved prospects for its future application. The major chapters discuss the principles and technical components of applying sterile insects. The four main strategic options in using the SIT — suppression, containment, prevention, and eradication — with examples of each option are described in detail. Other chapters deal with supportive technologies, economic, environmental, and management considerations, and the socio-economic impact of AW-IPM programmes that integrate the SIT. In addition, this second edition includes six new chapters covering the latest developments in the technology: managing pathogens in insect mass-rearing, using symbionts and modern molecular technologies in support of the SIT, applying post-factory nutritional, hormonal, and semiochemical treatments, applying the SIT to eradicate outbreaks of invasive pests, and using the SIT against mosquito vectors of disease. This book will be useful reading for students in animal-, human-, and plant-health courses. The in-depth reviews of all aspects of the SIT and its integration into AW-IPM programmes, complete with extensive lists of scientific references, will be of great value to researchers, teachers, animal-, human-, and plant-health practitioners, and policy makers.

This important book provides a practical guide to the principles and practice of developing an integrated pest management (IPM) programme. Integrated Pest Management answers the question `how do you devise, develop and implement a practical IPM system which will fully meet the real needs of farmers?'. The term `pest' in this book is used in its broadest sense and includes insects, pathogens, weeds, nematodes, etc. The book commences by outlining the basic principles which underlie pest control (crop husbandry, socio-economics, population ecology and population genetics) and reviews the control mesures available and their use in IPM systems. Subsequent chapters cover the techniques and approaches used in defining a pest problem, programme planning and management, systems analysis, experimental paradigms and implementation of IPM systems. The final seciton of the book contains four chapters giving examples of IPM in different cropping systems, contributed by invited specialists and outlining four different perspectives. Integrated Pest Management will be of great use to agricultural and plant scientists, entomologists, aracologists and nematologists and all those studying crop protection, particularly at MSc level and above. It will be particularly useful for, and should find a place on the shelves of all personnel within the agrochemical industry, universities and research establishments working in this subject area and as a reference in libraries for students and professionals alike.

Excerpt from The Potential Role of the Sterility Method for Insect Population Control With Special Reference to Combining This Method With Conventional Methods The release of sterile insects offers a useful new method for controlling or eliminating populations of certain insects. The merits and limitations of the method for use against the wide range of insects that we must contend with cannot be fully deter mined on the basis of current knowledge. However, with the information and experience already gained and further study of the basic principles involved, there is every reason to believe that the technique, used alone or integrated with other methods, can have broad application for the control or eradication of a number of our most destructive insects. The need is acute for more desirable, as well as more economical, ways to regulate populations of certain key insect species that cause high economic losses, and which, in addition, necessitate costly and continuing control efforts. Current control measures for some of these major pests contribute substantially to the accumulation of insecticides in our total environment. Moreover, to control key insect species, it is necessary to employ broad spectrum insecticides, which have adverse effects on natural enemies, necessitating a more intensive effort to control other pests. The sterile-insect technique will not be practical for controlling or eliminating established populations of most of our destructive insect species. The method will not be feasible for those that have a wide host range, are Sporadic in appearance, or which do not cause high economic losses. An insect pest might be of great importance on minor crops, but the total economic value of the crops may not justify the costly control or eradication programs that most likely would be involved in the mass production and release of large numbers of sterile insects. This same line of reasoning, however, may not hold for insects that have a restricted host range. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
