Microbial Biotechnology: Health Applications and Industrial Prospects

This book is a collection of research outcomes by coalition of research experts in the field of Natural Sciences. It is a progression of wide ranging focal points of interests in application of expertise gained over years of extensive research to tackle major challenges using local environment as study models. The biocontrol of insect pests involved with in-site and post-harvest spoilage of stored products using viruses. This model of control was promoted for efficient control of crop pest and ethical issues were addressed. The prospect of utilizing local products as widely accepted food supplements was also addressed in a section of this collection. Moreso, the problem of environmental health and water safety in rural African communities were thoroughly addressed with useful recommendations by the team of researchers involved. Finally, clinical considerations of prevailing infectious diseases and treatment prospects for cancer cell forms were also discussed. The rich variety of ideas this collection gives coupled with the practicable solution and intriguing findings of the authors will present readers an educative and informative perspective of the scope discussed in this book.
