Abstract

Gives recommendations for prophylactics and control of infectious diseases in insect cultures. Sanitary measures for the establishment of axenic insect cultures using gnotobiotic insects are described. In addition, insect sanitation and therapy of disease are explained. Protocols for sterile and biosafety laboratory use, as well as insect culture handling are listed.
