This page was originally prepared for the International Biopesticide Consortium for Development (IBCD) and forms a draft for the proposed web site of SIP Microbial Control Division: all comments are welcome.

The DIVISION OF MICROBIAL CONTROL of THE SOCIETY FOR INVERTEBRATE PATHOLOGY carries out basic and applied studies associated with invertebrates, with the aim of using acquired knowledge to (a) understand interactions with invertebrates, and (b) control pest and vector populations of invertebrates, and/or to prevent or cure diseases of invertebrates caused by these pathogens or parasites.

The objectives of the Microbial Control Division are:

	To promote scientific knowledge of the Division's subject matter through discussions, reports and publications.
	To stimulate world-wide interaction among scientists who have special interests in the Division's subject matter through the organization of workshops and symposia at the annual meeting of the SOCIETY, as well as to provide assistance in the organization of international meetings.
	To provide an organizational structure through which problems and matters relevant to the study of the subject matter may be presented for discussion and action among interested scientists.
	To provide an organize body of expertise which can be readily identified and accessed by persons or organization within or outside the SOCIETY who are in need of knowledge or consultation on the subject matter.
