Abstract
Describes the peculiarities of initial disease manifestation (cryptic, mild or acute) in insect cultures for prompt detection of abnormalities in the colony, namely external and internal symptoms and signs of disease (e.g. change of morphology and metamorphosis patterns, behavioral changes, etc.). This chapter is mostly useful for timely detection of infectious diseases in insect laboratory cultures and should be used when problems in the colonies are observed and as a regular checklist for colony health.
