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.
