Package 'insectDisease'

Title: Ecological Database of the World's Insect Pathogens
Description: David Onstad provided us with this insect disease database, sometimes referred to as the 'Ecological Database of the Worlds Insect Pathogens' or EDWIP. Files have been converted from 'SQL' to csv, and ported into 'R' for easy exploration and analysis. Thanks to the Macroecology of Infectious Disease Research Coordination Network (RCN) for funding and support. Data are also served online in a static format at <https://edwip.ecology.uga.edu/>.

InsectDisease.

Description

This package provides a 'R' workspace with insect disease database data already present. Data are visible by using the R command ls("package:InsectDisease")', and individual data frames can be imported to your local workspace by using the command 'data(NAMEOFDATA)'

Data frames can be grouped by parasite type, as 'nemaref', 'nematode' and 'newnema' provide information on nematode infections, as 'nvpassoc' provides information on protozoans, and 'viraref' and 'viruses' provide details of viral infections. 'pathogen' provides general taxonomic information on pathogens in the database. Citations are available in a number of places, including but not limited to 'assocref', 'citation', 'nemaref', and 'viraref'.
