The discussion of this subject tends to be system based, with primary emphasis on the insect host. However, recent screening studies have revealed that the diversity of bacteria associated with arthropods may not be as wide as initially expected, and some genera are constantly being found in hosts that belong to distantly related taxa. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManipulative Tenants: Bacteria Associated with Arthropods\u003c\/strong\u003e introduces the fascinating world of bacteria-arthropod associations with an emphasis on the bacterial partner. Written by an interdisciplinary team of international contributors, this book provides an overview of the diversity of bacterial symbionts identified to date as frequent partners of terrestrial arthropods. It discusses primary (obligatory) symbionts as well as the most abundant secondary (facultative) symbionts currently known. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummarizing the most up-to-date information available on each symbiont, the book presents a synopsis of the field from the bacterial angle. Chapters examine Proteobacteria, including \u003cem\u003eSodalis\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWigglesworthia\u003c\/em\u003e in tsetse flies and \u003cem\u003eStammerula\u003c\/em\u003e and other symbiotic bacteria in fruit flies, as well as Bacteroidetes such as \u003cem\u003eBlattabacterium\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCardinium\u003c\/em\u003e. The book also identifies questions that emerge from the study of these systems. This comprehensive reference introduces the topic of bacteria-arthropod associations to researchers who are not familiar with it, enlarges the scope of knowledge of those who are, and provides a textbook for students in microbiology and other branches of biology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565346087150,"sku":"9781439827499","price":277.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781439827499.jpg?v=1720677968","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/manipulative-tenants-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
