The Ecological Database of the World's Insect Pathogens (EDWIP) offers information on fungi, viruses, protozoa, mollicutes, nematodes, and bacteria¹ that are infectious in insects, mites, and related arthropods. Data in EDWIP include associations (or lack thereof) between pathogenic organisms and insect, mite, and other arthropod hosts. EDWIP also includes information on where associations have been observed, stages and tissues of hosts infected, and habitats and host ranges of the arthropod hosts. Association and nonassociation data in EDWIP are supported by bibliographic citations. All areas of the database are searchable. (....) ¹Because of the tremendous volume of information available on the bacterial pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis, we have excluded this species from EDWIP. For informaton on Bt, see the Canadian Forest Service's Bt Toxin Specificity Database. ... [Information of the supplier]
TOXLINE consists of two components: TOXLINE Special and TOXLINE Core. TOXLINE Special is a TOXNET component created by merging all or selected records from several databases, some of which are archival (i.e., no longer being updated). The databases or portions thereof that are included are referred to as TOXLINE Special subfiles. The active collection consists of subfiles that are periodically updated. Most of TOXLINE's records contain abstracts, although some do not. Most of the above subfiles are indexed using keywords, although the vocabularies differ. You may search using specific controlled vocabulary terms for a subfile, if you are familiar with them. However, any terms you enter in the query box will automatically be searched against both the keyword and MeSH fields, in addition to other fields such as title, abstract, and author. TOXLINE Core is a MEDLINE subset of journal literature limited to toxicology and environmental health, and searchable via NLM's PubMed interface. TOXLINE Core is roughly equivalent to the former TOXBIB subfile of TOXLINE, which was also a MEDLINE subset. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
