Studying the Mosquito: Contemporary Research Advances

Description:

Unabridged edition. The mosquito is the key insect for transmitting human vector-borne diseases. This book features chapters contributed by eminent researchers working on mosquitoes and mosquito-related subjects. In recent years, the focus of mosquito research has been on modern biology that supports the discovery of novel vector control methods. A need was felt to summarise this research, and this book was conceptualised, with themes including recent concepts and knowledge and control strategies that broadly covered physiology, bionomics, immunology, AI and ML, microbiome and novel mosquito control methods, etc. This book provides valuable insights into recent research, interdisciplinary concepts, contemporary research and developments. The editors have 4 decades of research experience on mosquito biology and have accessed and presented the most recent knowledge in mosquito research in this book. This book will be an asset for faculty and researchers alike and is a must-read book for entomologists, biologists, parasitologists, industrialists, and medical and paramedical personnel.
