Synopsis

The Handbook of Medical Entomology is a comprehensive guide to the study of insects and arthropods that are medically important. Written by William Albert Riley, the book provides an in-depth look at the morphology, behavior, and ecology of various species of insects that are known to transmit diseases to humans and animals. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the biology of mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other blood-sucking insects, as well as the diseases they transmit, such as malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease. The book also covers the various methods used for controlling insect populations, including chemical and biological control methods. The Handbook of Medical Entomology is an essential reference for anyone interested in the study of insects and their role in the transmission of diseases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Handbook of Medical Entomolog is the outgrowth of a course of lectures along the lines of insect transmission and dissemination of diseases of man given by the senior author in the Department of Entomolog of Cornell University during the past six years.

Considering the rapid shifts in view Doint, and the development of the subject within recent years, the authors do not indulge in any hopes that the present text will exactly meet the needs of every one specializing in the field, still less do they regard it as complete or final. The fact that the enormous literature of isolated articles is to be found principally in foreign periodicals and is therefore difficult of access to many American workers, has led the authors to hope that a summary of the important advances, in the form of a reference book may not pro eunwelcome to physicians, sanitarians and working entomologists, and to teachers as a text supplementing lecture work in the subject. Lengthy as is the bibliography, it covers but aver small fraction of the important contributions to the subject. It will scr eonly to put those interested in touch with original sources and to open up the field.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
