Originally designed as course reader for graduate students, this important work highlights not only the biology of arthropods of medical importance, but more specifically addresses ecological aspects that link entomology with parasitology, immunology and pathology. First half covers arthropod morphology, characteristics and classifications.
Second half addresses epidemiology, transmission, arthropod-borne bacteria, protozoa, and control.
