Description
Significant advancements have been made in pathogen detection technologies during the last decade. Indexing of plants and plant parts
for the presence of specific pathogens has been most effective in some instances for avoiding and/or controlling disease. The new technologies
for detecting low levels of pathogens will increase the value of indexing as a tool for plant disease control. Providing an overview
of the status of detection technology, this volume is directed not only to scientists and students interested in detection technology,
but also to those interested in formulating and implementing disease control and quarantine regulations. This book provides a conceptual
framework which presents the current scientific literature, state-of-the-art assessments, and speculations on future developments and
requirements of pathogen indexing methods. Chapters cover the different pathogen groups, review current practices in areas where detection
technology has become important, and provide perspectives on how indexing technologies can be applied, how well it has worked, and which
problems remain. Statistical treatment of detection limits, sampling strategies, risk assessment, cost, standardization, and quality
control are also covered.
Audience
Plant scientists, postgraduates, researchers, and disease control officers.
