Entomopathogenic Fungi in Insects: From Physiological Effects to Applications explores the complex relationships between entomopathogenic fungi and insects. This interdisciplinary book delves into the physiological, immunological, and behavioral responses elicited by fungi in insects, offering insights for sustainable development. It assesses the potential applications of these fungi as biopesticides against harmful insects while considering their impact on non-target populations. This comprehensive work is invaluable for researchers and professionals in agroecosystems, insect pathology,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Entomopathogenic Fungi in Insects: From Physiological Effects to Applications explores the complex relationships between entomopathogenic fungi and insects. This interdisciplinary book delves into the physiological, immunological, and behavioral responses elicited by fungi in insects, offering insights for sustainable development. It assesses the potential applications of these fungi as biopesticides against harmful insects while considering their impact on non-target populations. This comprehensive work is invaluable for researchers and professionals in agroecosystems, insect pathology, biocontrol, plant protection, and crop health, as well as graduate students focused on sustainability. In addition, the book examines the mutualistic roles fungi can play in insect physiology, such as aiding in digestion. These fungi, prevalent in insect habitats, can serve as microbial pest control agents by infecting and weakening insect hosts. The book emphasizes the importance of mitigating potential harm to non-target insect populations, ensuring a balanced approach to biocontrol in agricultural practices.
Autorenporträt
Prof. Arash Zibaee holds a Ph.D. in insect biochemistry and physiology from the University of Tehran in 2010. Also, he had an intensive course in invertebrate immunology at University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy) under supervision of Prof. Davide Malagoli on histology and genomics of immune-related genes. He is currently an Associate Professor of insect physiology at University of Guilan and works on insect digestion through purification and genetically characterization of digestive enzymes, insect cellular and humeral responses and effects of environmental factors on these physiological systems. Prof. Zibaee has several peer-reviewed papers in well-known international journals and serves as associate editor in the journals of invertebrate physiology and plant protection. Also, he is a member of entomological society of America and entomological society of Republic of Korea.
