The study of plant disease is of immense academic, practical and economic importance, with findings potentially having implications for the agricultural industry worldwide. Epidemiology is at the centre of this study and the key to obtaining a better knowledge of all aspects of plant disease epidemics. Through plant epidemiological studies the processes of pathogen dispersal, infection, colonisation, reproduction, and disease spread yield can be better understood. Thus providing the precise information upon which disease models can be developed, disease forecasting schemes devised, diversification strategies formulated and integrated approaches to plant disease management put into practice. An international team of contributors have been brought together to provide a thoroughly up-to-date account of the current state of plant epidemiological research, from both an academic and practical perspective. Chapters are included on infection mechanisms, spore dispersal, pathogen population dynamics, epidemiological modelling, disease diagnosis, disease management strategies and disease resistance, as well as detailed case studies each dealing with a specific type of pathogen. This book will be essential reading for those working in the areas of crop protection, plant pathology and agricultural science and will also be of interest to students studying and researching these areas.
