Description

"In this book, Elizabeth Davidson shares amazing stories about diseases of insects and other invertebrates important to people - and about the scientists who learned to use those diseases to control pests and create products beneficial to humans. Focusing on insect-microbial interactions crucial to public health, she tells detective stories ranging across global history, from the silkworm farms of nineteenth-century Japan to the research labs of modern America."--Jacket.
