Academic Press Geminivirus: Detection, Diagnosis and Management

Product Description Geminivirus: Detection, Diagnosis and Management provides comprehensive coverage on the virus' detection, diagnosis and management. Key themes include host range determinant and factors involved in pathogenesis, virus-vector interactions during acquisition, retention and transmission, and evaluating management strategies for control. This book is an essential read for students and researchers interested in plant virology, particularly begomoviruses, geminiviruses and vector transmission. Understanding plant virus evolution is crucial for modeling the within-host and between host dynamics and genetics of virus populations such as population bottlenecks during cell-to-cell movement, systemic colonization, or between-host transmission by different procedures. Review Comprehensive coverage of the recognition and signaling events between plants and geminiviruses From the Back Cover The highest impact of plant diseases in host populations is often caused by emerging diseases, defined as those whose incidence in a host population is increasing as a result of long-term changes in their underlying epidemiology. Major factors favoring disease emergence are genetic changes in pathogen and host populations, and changes in host ecology and environment. Understanding plant virus evolution is crucial for modelling the within-host and between host dynamics and genetics of virus populations, such as population bottlenecks during cell-to-cell movement, systemic colonization, or between-host transmission by different procedures. <p><i>Geminivirus </i>provides comprehensive coverage of detection, diagnosis and management.
