Abaca Virus Diseases: Epidemics and Control is an excellent resource on the various available methods developed to protect and enhance our country’s abaca—from quarantine and control of abaca insect vectors to breeding abaca disease-resistant varieties. The epidemiology of the abaca bunchy top virus and the abaca mosaic virus are also discussed in depth, providing readers maps, models, and simulation outbreaks of the diseases’ effects on our country’s abaca supply and industry. —From the Foreword by former UPLB Chancellor Fernando C. Sanchez Jr.
