Produktbeschreibung

Mosquitoes, Communities, and Public Health in Texas focuses on the 87 species of mosquitoes found in Texas and discusses more broadly how the state deals with them. The book provides a comprehensive review of the ecology, medical and veterinary importance, and biological diversity of Texas' mosquitoes that reflects principles applicable throughout North America. In addition, it provides detailed identification keys for both larval and adult stages of all mosquito genera and species known to occur in Texas, and a review of surveillance and control strategies. Expansion of the range of potentially invasive mosquitoes is an important topic in the book, as climate change and increased transportation have already resulted in dramatic impact of vectors and arboviruses in the Western Hemisphere--
