Exotic Pests and Diseases Biology Amd Economics for Biosecurity

Exotic Pests and Diseases: Biology and Economics for Biosecurity grew out of a large interdisciplinary project at the University of California Agricultural Issues Center. It includes ten interdisciplinary case studies that represent a range of pest and disease threats to U.S. agriculture, wildlands, and the urban landscape. Possible government responses to these threats are described. Each chapter combines biological foundations and implications for the public good, providing powerful insights on a series of public policy issues of national and international importance. Exotic Pests and Diseases: Biology and Economics for Biosecurity will educate students, practitioners, and academics in the field of economics, verterinary medicine, plant pathology, entomology, and agriculture, as well as policy makers, state and federal regulators, government officials, and others with an interest in pest and disease management.Sumner, Daniel A. is the author of 'Exotic Pests and Diseases Biology Amd Economics for Biosecurity', published 2003 under ISBN 9780813819662 and ISBN 0813819660.
