Illustrations Of Quarantine Pests For Europe

Description:
This work is a companion volume to 'Quarantine Pests for Europe', published originally in 1992 by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB INTERNATIONAL (CABI) for the European Union. The previous book provides information on identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance, phytosanitary measures, and a bibliography for all the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, but does not contain any illustrations. This text contains 400 colour illustrations, most of them new in relation to the first illustrations of the EPPO Data Shets which appeared in 'Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin' in the 1980s. The book covers most of the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, including those which have been added to the quarantine lists since 1992. The quarantine pests concerned are either not present in the Euro-Mediterranean region, or only present to a limited extent and submitted to official control measures. The sequence of presentation is as for the text volume - insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasitic plants. Within each chapter, the pest illustrations appear in alphabetical order. An index including scientific names and synonyms is included at the end of the book. Accompanying text is presented in both English and French.
