Summary

"The second edition of Biology of Disease Vectors has been developed by experts from around the world who are actively engaged in teaching and research in their respective areas. The chapters provide an understanding of disease vectors on a broad front, covering biological requirements of vectors, epidemiology, physiology and molecular biology, genetics, principles of control, and insecticide resistance. The first edition was a significant landmark in vector biology and this revised edition brings investigators and students up to date with the latest findings and techniques."--BOOK JACKET.
