Abstract
The first part of the work deals with insect biology and the measures museums can take to prevent infestation. The study covers feeding and reproduction cycles for each species, the kinds of materials each species attacks and the kinds of damages they cause, as well as the state of research on the means to fight them. In the second part, 12 disinfection techniques are described, each chapter ending with numerous bibliographic references. -- AATA
