Phytoplasmas: Plant Pathogenic Bacteria - II: Transmission and Management of Phytoplasma - Associated Diseases
暫譯: 植物病原細菌：植物體內原生質體 - II：原生質體相關疾病的傳播與管理

與植物體內原生質體相關的疾病是全球許多觀賞植物、園藝作物及其他經濟重要農作物質量和生產力的主要限制因素。由於植物體內原生質體疾病造成的年度損失各不相同，但在有利於病原體的條件下，對農業社群會造成災難性的後果。由於目前尚無有效的治療方法，管理選項主要集中在排除這些疾病、最小化其通過昆蟲媒介和繁殖材料的擴散，以及發展宿主植物的抗性。

本書討論了有關植物體內原生質體相關疾病的流行病學和管理的最新資訊，提供了有關原生質體的分佈、發生和識別、近期診斷方法、傳播、損失和地理分佈以及管理方面的全面、最新概述。
