The Epidemiology of Plant Diseases
Plant disease epidemiology is a dynamic science that forms an essential part of the study of plant pathology. This book brings together a team of 35 international experts. Each chapter deals with an essential component of the subject and allows the reader to fully understand how each exerts its influence on the progress of pathogen populations in plant populations over a defined time scale. Since the first edition of the text was published in 1998, many new developments have occurred in the subjects covered, particularly molecular diagnostics, modelling, fungicide resistance and information technology. The second edition of the book is a comprehensive text on all aspects of plant disease epidemiology that should serve as an invaluable reference work for those involved in this fascinating science of crop plants.
Fluconazole : Pharmacology, clinical uses and health effects
Fluconazole is a triazole antifungal drug used in the treatment and prevention of superficial and systemic fungal infections. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the pharmacology, clinical uses and health effects of fluconazole. Topics discussed include the utilization of fluconazole in adult intensive care units; the use of fluconazole in veterinary species and a description of variances from the human experience as well as findings in veterinary species which may have applicability in human medicine; common clinical uses and in vitro activity features on fluconazole; and the discovery and development of medically-important antifungal agents, particularly the azole derivatives and the development of fluconazole and its clinical applications.
Allelochemicals : Biological Control of Plant Pathogens and Diseases
This book is organized around the indication that allelochemicals can be employed for biological control of plant pathogens and plant diseases. Specifically, this volume focuses on (i) discovery and development of natural product based fungicides for agriculture, (ii) direct use of allelochemicals as well as indirect effects through cover crops and organic amendments for plant parasitic pest control and (iii) application of allelopathy in pest management.
