About the Author
Philip Crain received his Ph.D. in Entomology from the University of Kentucky studying novel mosquito control strategies. After a post-doctoral research position at Westfälische-Wilhelms Universität in Münster, Germany, he joined the insect resistance management research team at DuPont Pioneer. Philip has a strong ecological background, and promotes the use of computer models to understand complex interactions. Population genetics and population dynamics models should include economic analysis if the goal is control of pests or disease.
Rangaswamy Muniappan, Program Director of the Integrated Pest Management Collaborative Research Support Program (IPM CRSP) at the Office of International Research, Education, and Development at Virginia Tech (U.S.), has specialized in economic entomology, biological control, and integrated pest management research in the tropics for over 45 years. He is an emeritus member of the International Organization for Biological Control and is currently responsible for managing the IPM CRSP and coordinating with USAID and project partner institutions in the United States and developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. He has over 300 research and extension publications.
