'... represents an excellent, comprehensive reference that occupies a previously unfilled niche in the insect pathology literature. It is a great resource for all researchers who study insect viruses. It is also an extremely valuable source of informatio n for those investigators interested in the use of insect viruses for biological control of insect pests.' BioScience, 50:4 (2000) 'The Insect Viruses belongs on the shelves of insect pathologists, especially insect virologists, right next to The Baculoviruses. This book will also be useful to researchers in other fields who will appreciate the diversity and utility of these viruses: virologists and students of virology, particularly those interested in virus evolution or structure, entomologists interested in biological control of insects, insect immunity or diseases carried by insect vectors, and biotechnologists immediately spring to mind.'
