Reviews
“The book provides an effective and comprehensive information on epidemiology and management aspects of virus and viroid diseases in tropics which is well written by the authors, regarding present status and possible feature strategies in holistic plant virus/vorid disease management. It should find a well-deserved place in the laboratories of different institutions and universities engaged in teaching and research in plant pathology and plant virology.” (V. Muniyappa, Virus Disease, Vol. 27, 2016)
