It also includes new chapters on the benefits of human-dog relationship and non-infectious disease issues with dogs.

Focusing on pathobiology and protective strategies against protozoan and metazoan parasites of fish, this book reviews the latest research on important parasites in particular those that cause financial hardships to the aquaculture industry.

Aimed at researchers, policy makers, agricultural ministries, donors, regional and sub-regional organizations, non-governmental development organizations and universities - this book provides an overview of state-of-the-art research and recommendations for handling future challenges in Africa's food security.

This book provides practical and innovative approaches to biosecurity surveillance. It explains the foundation and concepts behind surveillance design, with examples of methods and tools created to deal with surveillance challenges. With supporting case studies, it covers detectability, single and multi-species detection and risk assessment.

Amino acids play a role in the defence mechanisms and stress responses of plants, as well as in food quality and safety for humans and animals. This book collates chapters on plant enzymes and metabolism, modulation, molecular aspects, secondary products, ecology, the environment and mammalian nutrition and toxicology.

Drawing on almost 40 years of experience of irrigation in the developing world, Laycock introduces new ideas on the design of irrigation systems and combines important issues from the disciplines of social conflict, management, and political thinking.

Drawing on the author's world-wide experience and with contributions from professionals in the field, this book takes a comparative approach relating to different economic, political and temporal dimensions, examining established initiatives both in the context of the standards of the time and from a modern perspective looking back.

This book examines peppers from historical, genetic, physiological and production perspectives. Diverse examples of pod types and their variation in pungency are examined, production methods and constraints are discussed, and harvesting methods, post-harvest challenges and opportunities are explored.

Biology and Breeding of Food Legumes provides extensive information on food legumes' history, origin, evolution and botany, as well as breeding objectives and procedures, nutritional improvement, industrial uses, post-harvest technology and recent developments made through biotechnological intervention.

Highlighting parallels and contrasts between parasitic and free-living nematode groups, this book integrates strategies that enable nematodes to persist in the absence of food with tactics used by parasitic forms to survive the defence responses of a plant or animal host.

Taking an integrated and comprehensive approach, this book focuses on both the macro and micro aspects of destination marketing and management.

Using case studies from European countries, chapters discuss trust-building methods for food networks in an e-business environment. Key issues include the influence of cultural disparity and cross-border transactions upon major product groups such as meat, cereal products and fresh produce.

Explaining the physiological needs of turfgrass plants, this textbook outlines the management techniques that help supply those needs. A range of practices and methods to cope with stress under both normal and less than optimum conditions are discussed, providing the decision making tools for improvement based on changing environmental conditions.

Focusing on the principles behind production practices and their scientific basis, rather than detailed biological traits of each crop, this text outlines successes and failures in practices to date and sets out how the quantity and quality of horticultural produce can improve in the future.

Following an overview of the field, this textbook reviews key genetic concepts, provides an update on relevant genomic technology, and describes methods for assessing the magnitude of genetic influences on diseases and risk factors. It is an essential resource for graduate students in epidemiology and public health genetics.

The first of two volumes, this book covers major tropical fruits such as avocado, litchi, mango, papaya and pineapple. Tropical Fruits is essential reading for students and teachers of horticulture as well as horticultural industry personnel and policy-makers.

Core principles are examined such as soil-plant relationships, genetic manipulation and diversity, yield and water requirements, as well as physical factors such as solar radiation, temperature and weather.

Updated, developed and reworked from Doug Kettle's seminal Medical and Veterinary Entomology, this major new reference presents vital information in encyclopedia format, with alphabetical entries and an extensive index to make key facts easy to find.

Highlighting the use of biocontrol agents as an alternative to chemical pesticides in the management of plant nematodes, this book reviews current progress and developments. Each biocontrol agent, i.e. nematophagous fungi, parasitic bacteria, predaceous mites, rhizobacteria, mycorrhiza and predaceous nematodes, has been described separately.

This reference work discusses pig genetics and its integration with livestock management and production technology to improve performance. Fully updated, this new edition also includes new information on genetic aspects of domestication, colour variation, genomics and pig breeds, with contributions from international experts active in the field.

Revised and updated with expanded coverage of world trade statistics and policies, breeding of new cultivars in relation to disease resistance and markets, prospects for genetically-modified bananas and the increasing role of endophytes in controlling pests and diseases, this new edition is an essential resource for researchers in horticulture.

This book explores new information on human-livestock relationships, their effects on both animals and handlers and the application of this knowledge particularly in relation to dairy cows, veal calves and poultry. It is a practical guide for farm managers, researchers in the animal sciences, psychologists, ethologists and veterinarians.

Practical methods for acquiring or improving each skill are covered in detail, with practice exercises to engage the reader in active participation. This book is an essential resource for farm managers and students.

Islands are the most vulnerable and fragile of tourism destinations and experience more pressure as the combined impacts of economic, social and environmental change accelerate. This book provides insights and instruction on this matter with essential information for policymakers, planners, researchers, managers within the tourism industry

Chemical Food Safety covers the underlying principles and applied science required to understand, analyse and take professional action on food safety problems and questions that call for interventions at a local, national or international level.

Covering the development of sustainable agriculture, food production and food security, this paper explains the relationship between all levels of investment and their interdependence to be successful. It also describes how to drive increased investment, at what stage and where, providing a useful overview of investment in agriculture.
