Riassunto

The book Methods in Silkworm Microbiology is the first ever publication that provides in-depth reviews on the latest progresses about silkworm –pathogen interactions, diseases and management practices for sustainable development of sericulture. Different molecular and immunodiagnostic methods for the detection of pathogens have been comprehensively addressed. Most recent advancements on the role of Micro RNAs in silkworm and pathogen interactions are provided with suitable illustrations. Recent technological advances and emerging trends in exploring silkworm gut microbial communities towards translation research, particularly to understand microbiome functions have been highlighted. Information on various immune mechanisms of silkworm against invading pathogens is summarized. The book further highlights the silkworm gut microbiota as a potential source for biotechnological applications.

Informazioni sugli autori

Dr Gurtler completed a Ph.D. program in 1996 at La Trobe University in the Department of Microbiology. The main contribution of this work was the development of a universal bacterial typing technique based on the 16S-23S rDNA spacer region. The technique is now extensively used in many areas of Microbiology including Diagnostic, Environmental and Veterinary Microbiology. Citations to the articles Dr Gurtler wrote on this topic total >1000 with >830 citations alone to the 1996 review published in the journal “Microbiology”. Dr Gurtler wrote an invited review on genomic typing, taxonomy and identification of bacterial isolates for the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM). In addition to fundamental research, Dr Gurtler has also had experience with the application of this technology to the medical diagnostic laboratory in the fields of molecular microbiology and human molecular genetics. Dr Gurtler has been involved full time in diagnostic microbiology over many years resulting in the adoption of a method that identifies Mycobacterium species directly from clinical specimens without the need for culture in specimens positive for acid fast bacilli, the discovery of Nocardia veterana, and the development of many diagnostic tests.

In the last twelve years Dr Gurtler has been an Editor for the Journal of Microbiological Methods (JMM) and in the last 5 years Serial Editor of Methods in Microbiology (MIM) with the publication of 9 volumes covering diverse subjects such as Biofilms, Nanotechnology, COVID-19 and Fluorescent Probes.

Dr. Gangavarapu Subrahamnyam obtained PhD from Department of Microbiology and Biotechnology, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, India in 2013. He has received prestigious TWAS-CAS PG international fellowship and worked in Research Centre for Eco-environmental Science (RCEES), Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, PR China during 2011-2012. He has done postdoctoral research in UNESCO-MIRCEN center for Marine Biotechnology, College of Fisheries, Mangalore, India during 2014. He has done substantial research on microbial ecology and soil metagenomics for exploring nitrifying bacteria and archaeal dynamics in polluted soils and published excellent articles reputed journals. Dr. G. Subrahmanyam has been working as a scientist in Central Muga Eri Research & Training Institute (CMER&TI), Central Silk Board (CSB), Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India, Lahdoigarh, Assam since 2015. He is expertise in silkworm pathology, biotechnology and published various high impact research articles and international book chapters. He has received various national and internal awards from India and abroad. He has handled more than 05 research projects funded by CSB, DST and DBT and developed technologies suitable for Muga silkworm (A. assamensis Helfer) rearing. Currently he is working on silkworm gut microbiomes and microsporidian biology. He is one of the editorial board members for the journal “Frontiers in Microbiology”. He is a member in DBT-Institutional Bio-safety Committee (IBSC), Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, India.
