Public Health Entomology

In the struggle against vector-borne diseases, it is critical that we bridge the gap between vector control workers on the ground and public health planners and administrators. This volume examines vector-borne disease prevention, surveillance, and control from a governmental and public health perspective with worldwide application. The book begins with the history of pest control and public health before outlining the design and implementation of a sound public health entomology program. It also provides an overview of some of the most common public health pests found globally. Copious photos and line drawings accentuate the text, along with textboxes and sidebars.
