| Description: |
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.
