Allan M. Crawford (1951 - 2017)
Allan Crawford was a New Zealand virologist and geneticist who made important contributions in the fields of virus diseases of insect pests and animal genetics. He studied at the University of Otago in Dunedin from 1970 to 1976 and worked for his Ph.D. on porina moths, serious pasture pests in New Zealand. In 1977, he completed his Ph.D. thesis on nucleopolyhedroviruses of Wiseana under James Kalmakoff. During a post-doctorate fellowship in 1977 and 1978, he continued his research on baculoviruses at the Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada in collaboration with Peter Faulkner, investigating aspects like immunology, tissue culture and genetics.
In 1979, Allan Crawford returned to New Zealand and worked in Auckland as an entomologist for the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (now The New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research Ltd.). In Auckland, his main research focus was on viruses and other diseases of scarab pests like Heteronychus arator, Costelytra and Oryctes rhinoceros. In 1986/87 he spent a year in Athens at the University of Georgia, where he worked on baculovirus genetics and molecular biology together with Lois Miller.
Allan Crawford also made significant contributions in the field of tissue culture and was the first to establish a coleopteran cell line (see Crawford, 1982), called DSIR-HA-1179. That cell line originated from the black beetle (H. arator) and 1179 refers to Nov. 1979, the time it was established. It has been extensively used in virus research for more than 30 years.
In 1989, he moved back to Dunedin and worked for AgResearch at the University of Otago and later at the Invermay Agricultural Centre in nearby Mosgiel. Here, his main research area was the genetics of livestock, but he also covered some aspects of crop pests like parasitoids of pest weevils and plant parasitic nematodes. The publications listed below are only those relevant to agricultural pests. Allan Crawford wrote many more on livestock genetics.
