Abstract:

The Ecological Database of the World's Insect Pathogens (EDWIP) offers information on fungi, viruses, protozoa, mollicutes, nematodes, and bacteria 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. Ecological data in EDWIP include information on habitat, food, and generations per year for the host organisms. Furthermore, this term helps the user understand why certain subjects are excluded from the database. The focus is on information that can help the user deal with or solve ecological problems.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

We have updated the search interface for EDWIP. The new interface allows users to see more of the data at a glance, and takes advantage of the relational structure of EDWIP to show summary data from related files. For example, when you search the Host Classification and Ecology file in the New EDWIP, you can view summary records of all associations and negative test results for each host in EDWIP. For a limited transition period, we are making both the New EDWIP and the Original EDWIP interfaces available. When you click the SEARCH NOW! link, you can choose either the New EDWIP or the Original EDWIP. The Search Tips page contains basic instructions for using the New EDWIP interface. Note that data in the Original EDWIP files have not been updated since June, 2000. New data have been added to the New EDWIP that are not included in the Original EDWIP. We are continuing to work on the interface, and as new features and capabilities are added, we will announce them here. If you have comments or suggestions that will help us make EDWIP a better resource, please let us know. E-mail your comments to David Onstad, onstad@uiuc.edu.
