This book is dedicated to Dr Jean Nguya Kalemba Maniania (former Head of ICIPE’s Arthropod Pathology Unit – APU) in recognition of his outstanding contribution to insect pathology and integrated pest management using entomopathogens.
His scientific qualities have paved the way for many African entomologists and insect pathologists, including three of the co-authors of this present book, namely Dr Sunday Ekesi (Nigeria), Dr Lorna Migiro (Kenya) and Dr Saliou Niassy (Senegal). We significantly benefited from his scientific rigour and personal qualities, which have been essential for the expansion of insect science in Africa.
