The largest part of this latest volume of The Biology of Mosquitoes concerns interactions between mosquitoes and viruses and the transmission of arboviruses to their vertebrate hosts, while the remainder concerns symbiotic interactions between mosquitoes and bacteria.

New features include the rearrangement of topics to facilitate use, and 44 short succinct chapters, each providing valuable and practical information.

By providing a range of international perspectives and case studies, this book discusses the interrelation between peace, conflict resolution and tourism, the role of industry and the role of the individual, and tourism as a catalyst for change and development.

Presents the proceedings of the 26th Poultry Science Symposium, held in Peebles, Scotland. Papers have been edited, revised and updated since the Symposium.

This book covers the essential elements of rubber breeding and physiology. It reviews plant structure and crop physiology, climatic requirements, latex production, genetics and breeding as well as biotechnology, soil tillage and crop establishment, nutrition, weed control, ancillary income generation and clean development management.

This book gives practical guidance on preventing and controlling ectoparasites that contribute to disease and infection in sheep and goats, discussing types of parasites, the diseases they cause and what methods of control are available, as well as wider implications such as animal welfare and environmental impacts.

Presenting the major principles of nutrition of both domestic and wild animals, this book takes a comparative approach, recognising that there are considerable differences in nutrient digestion, metabolism and requirements among various mammalian and avian species.

Addressing principles associated with breeding animals for enhanced health and resistance to specific diseases, this new edition is illustrated with examples covering diseases of importance to livestock production. It covers techniques and approaches, viruses, TSEs, bacteria, parasites, vectors, and health issues such as metabolic diseases.

This work debates and investigates the cross-compliance system, whereby farmers comply with standards relating to the environment, food safety and animal and plant health. It discusses cross-compliance in the context of existing standards, on-farm costs and the competitiveness of farm businesses.

This book brings together insights from a number of sub-disciplines within psychology and related disciplines. It is organised into five main sections which cover: models of food choice; biological and learning influences on food choice; societal influences; food choices across the lifespan; and changing dietary behaviour.

The 'Keys' are an essential resource for those working within medical, veterinary and biological departments worldwide, and are now available in a single volume, published by CABI. This supplementary volume includes revised and redescribed taxa and draws attention to new taxa, to the generic level.

Written by the world's leading authority on hypobaric storage, Postharvest Physiology and Hypobaric Storage of Fresh Produce fills a large gap in the existing literature.

Effective control makes a considerable difference to the farmer and the animal, and this second edition includes updated information throughout as well as new chapters covering organic dairy herds, dry period infections, robotic milking, residue avoidance, and best practice procedures.

Outlining both the historical developments and current state of the industry, whilst also taking into account wider political and cultural issues, the book covers the different elements of planning, project management, health and safety, funding, operations, human resources, marketing and logistics that are vital for successful management.

With a focus on macromineral utilization in farm animals, this book brings together quantitative aspects of phosphorus and calcium metabolism in farm animals in chapters written by leading researchers worldwide.

Drawing together perspectives from researchers and policy makers, this book explores how forests interact with the physical and natural world and with human society as the climate changes. It also studies how forests can be managed to contribute to the mitigation of climate change and to maximize the full range of economic and non-market benefits.

Many of the world's most serious agricultural pests are highly migratory. This book examines the behaviour and regional variations of migrating pest species, the altitude of migration, concentration of insects in layers and how they respond to large and small-scale wind systems.

Bringing together international expertise in rabbit production, topics covered include digestive physiology, feed formulation and product quality as well as new contributions on innovative feeding strategies, new methods for feed processing, feed management around weaning and the relationship between nutrition and intestinal health.

This volume explores tourism as a significant phenomenon in both generating and receiving societies, examining methods and cases that demonstrate, develop, and affirm tourism's essentially visual nature. Tourism-related methodologies such as photographs, souvenirs and advertising material are used to discuss findings.

Subjects covered include sampling and determining sample reliability, hypothesis testing, relationships between variables, the role and use of computer packages such as Genstat, and more complex experimental designs such as randomized blocks and split plots.

Bringing together existing knowledge in the areas of soil biology and physics, this book explores the key characteristics of soil spatial architecture, including how it develops and the consequences this has for life underground.

Fully revised and expanded to include organic fruit production, this new edition provides a thorough introduction to the cultivation of fruit found throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world.

The new edition has been updated to cover significant advances such as the process of conditioning, leading to the tenderisation of meat, and the new coverage of the use of molecular genetic techniques to try to select animals for improved meat quality.

Soil Ecologyy and Management describes the organisms inhabiting the soil, their functions and interactions and the dimensions of human impact on the activity of soil organisms and soil ecological function.

This third and final volume in the acclaimed Fish Diseases and Disorders trilogy addresses infectious diseases of finfish and shellfish caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi.

This book examines these roles as well as the international relationship between IPRs, agricultural biotechnology, access to biological resources, food security and globalisation, paying particular attention to proposals for the protection of Farmers' Rights, traditional knowledge, GM crops and the impact of competition laws.

This edited volume brings together acknowledged experts in often disparate fields ranging from physiology through ecology to evolution to consider in a unified manner the challenges facing insect populations in aquatic environments and how they have adapted to achieve such prominence in virtually all habitats.

This book, written by leading authorities from the USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, provides the most comprehensive coverage of this important topic on the market.

Reviewing an extensive array of literature from both a theoretical and practical perspective, this comprehensive guide deals with all aspects of olive culture, from its history, origins and traditional techniques to the latest horticultural procedures and basic physiology.

This edition is a comprehensive, fully cross-referenced collection of terms, names and phrases used in entomology, incorporating an estimated 43,000 definitions. It is the only listing which covers insect anatomy, behaviour, biology, ecology, histology, molecular biology, morphology, pest management, taxonomy and systematics.
