Hello everybody,
I am desperately looking for someone who could kindly provide me photographs
of cocoa tree, healthy or (particularly) infected with Cocoa Swollen Shoot
Virus and of Anthiaris toxicaria (upas tree), with permissions for
publication. I am preparing Polish translation of a Russian popular book on
principles of phytopathology. Though focussing on translation, I would like
very much to enhance the appeal of the book by adding some impressive photos
to it.

If you search Google under "Anthiaris toxicaria" you'll find only a few
hits. The alternative "Antiaris toxicaria" gets you about 1500 hits.
With this spelling you can search Google Images and see 17 images.
Many of these sites are government, academic and tourism organizations,
while others are personal sites. I think you'll be able to find
someone willing to give you permission to use a photo.

The string "cocoa swollen shoot virus" gets about 200 hits and several
images, and includes a link to a bibliography on the disease. The
string "Theobroma cacao" gets about 78,000 hits and 1000 images, but
a lot of these sites are for selling chocolate to consumers, or by
consumers describing their enthusiasm for chocolate.

You may not be aware how much color plates add to the production cost
of a book. You might consider also preparing an electronic version of
the book on CD or for download, or include a link in the text to a site
where the images can be viewed. One of the big benefits of electronic
publishing is that there is little or no extra cost to including many
color images. I realize that suitable computers may not be as widely
available in Poland as in some other countries, but these resources may
be available in schools and libraries.

I hope this helps. If you need technical help in figuring out how to find
the owners of images you are interested in, or how to contact authors of
papers whom you think may have useful images, you can probably find a local
(over)enthusiastic undergrad to assist you!

Therefore, I should greatly appreciate your contribution. Needless to say it
would be gratefully acknowledged in the book.
Looking forward to your generous response,
