  • Chapter
Book cover Epidemics of Plant Diseases

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 13))

Abstract

If we accept that epidemiology deals with two or even three populations, namely: host, pathogen and diseases, and effects upon them, we also have to agree with the following facts:
