Comparison is a powerful cognitive research tool in science since it does "across studies" to
evaluate similarities and differences, e.g. across taxa or diseases. This book deals with
comparative research on plant disease epidemics. Comparisons are done in specifically
designed experiments or with posterior analyses. From the apparently unlimited diversity of
epidemics of hundreds of diseases, comparative epidemiology may eventually extract a number
of basic types. These findings are very important to crop protection. Plant disease epidemiology,
being the ecological branch of plant pathology, may also be of value to ecologists, but also
epidemiologists in the areas of animal or human diseases may find interesting results, applicable
to their areas of research.
