Manual of Techniques in Invertebrate Pathology‎,‎ Second Edition‎,‎ describes a wide range of techniques used in the identification‎,‎ isolation‎,‎ propagation/cultivation‎,‎ bioassay‎,‎ quantification‎,‎ preservation‎,‎ and storage of the major groups of entomopathogens‎,‎ including entomophthorales‎,‎ entomopathogenic fungi‎,‎ entomopathogenic bacteria of the Bacilli‎,‎ Nematode parasites‎,‎ and pathogens and parasites of terrestrial molluscs‎.‎ The book presents the perspectives of an international group of experts in the fields of invertebrate pathology‎,‎ including microbiology‎,‎ mycology‎,‎ virology‎,‎ nematology‎,‎ biological control‎,‎ and integrated pest management‎.‎ Organized into 15 chapters‎,‎ the book covers methods for the study of virtually every major group of entomopathogen‎,‎ as well as methods for discovery and diagnosis of entomopathogens and the use of complementary methods for microscopy‎.‎ It discusses the use of molecular techniques for identifying and determining phylogeny‎,‎ factors that contribute to resistance to entomopathogens‎,‎ and sev‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎
