From reviews of the third edition: 'This is an easy to understand introduction to the field of medical entomology for more readers than just students of biology and entomology ... [another] appropriate title might be Medical Entomology for Health Care Providers and Public Health Practitioners.' Doody's Review Service

'Striking new features of the book include a colourful front cover bearing a female Anopheles farauti looking replete following lunch and a central block of 24 colour plates depicting a range of vectors of medical importance. ... a 'must have' for those studying the discipline and a continuing strength is its frequent updating cycle and the helpful addition and revision of the further reading section.'

Présentation de l'éditeur

Arthropod vectors of human diseases, such as malaria, filariasis and typhus, are a continuing threat to human health. Since publication of the first edition, Medical Entomology for Students has proved a popular textbook by providing the reader with all the basic information on insects, mites and ticks that affect human health. It examines methods of identification, the biology and ecology of these medically important arthropods, their epidemiological role and how they can be controlled. Its clear presentation and concise writing style, extensive illustrations and glossary of entomological and epidemiological terms make the book comprehensive and accessible. Each chapter concludes with suggestions for further reading. Medically important arthropods concern students of subjects as varied as tropical medicine, parasitology, entomology and pest control and the book also provides essential reading for physicians, nurses, health officials and community health workers. This textbook is recommended reading for both students and teachers of medical entomology courses.
