Reviews

The book is organized with a logical flow and begins with an overview of the different phylo-genetic groups where insect pathogens evolved, providing ample context for the subsequent chapters exploring more detailed and nuanced subjects. Researchers entering the field and established workers looking to include molecular methods in their approach will find this book serves as a crucial guide to the discoveries yet to come. --The Quarterly Review of Biology
