Pathogens
Infecting Insects and Mites of Citrus
is a pictorial guide to the entomopathogens of phytophagous insects and mites
found on all plant parts of a citrus tree whether they are grown as a vast monoculture
using contemporary high technological methods or as a few scattered trees grown
on a hill side or in a homeowners backyard. It includes illustrations of healthy
citrus insects and mites and their feeding injury. Although emphasis is on Florida,
citrus growers and other interested people will find the images helpful in identifying
arthropods and their diseases.
The purpose of this book is to present a comprehensive overview of the pathogens that cause disease of the various citrus arthropods, emphasizing: 1) visual recognition of a diseased host based on gross pathology, 2) identification via diagnostic characters of the pathogen, 3) visual recognition of healthy citrus pests and alternative ornamental hosts, and 4) direct injury to the plant and 4) direct injury to the plant.
The six authors are recognized worldwide as the leaders in this field. If you are an insect or mite with a pathogenic disease, you should go to one of these specialists for proper diagnosis of the problem.

Citrus:
A History, 2007,
252 pp, 20 color plates, Pierre Laszlo. $25.00.
Nearly 100 million tons of citrus are produced globally every year, and in Florida alone, citriculture is a 9 billion dollar industry. But where did these fruits first come from? How did they find their way into the Western world? And how did they become both a culinary and cultural phenomenon?
Pierre Laszlo here traces the spectacular rise and spread of citrus across the globe: from Southeast Asia in 4000 BC through North Africa and the Roman Empire to early modern Spain and Portugal, whose explorers introduced the fruits to the Americas during the 1500s. Citrus ransacks over two millennia of world history, exploring the numerous roles that citrus has played in agriculture, horticulture, cooking, nutrition, religion, and arts from the Jewish feast of the Tabernacles through the gardens and courts of Versailles to the canvasses of Vincent van Gogh to the orange groves of southern California and the juicing industry of today.
