Medical Entomology: A Handbook of Medically Important Insects and other Arthropods

Synopsis Medical entomology has in course of time undergone a transformation from a mere traditional knowledge of the discipline to the one that stresses emphatically on harvesting a plethora of insects’ infinite ‘biomedical’ properties. Our familiarity with the medically important insects and other arthropods has, therefore, been expanded in this book to explore unlimited biomedical significance of these tiny yet most successful creatures on earth with about four million species. In addition to having a first-hand information on the pestilent/vectorial importance of arthropods, particularly various vector-borne infections, an ingenious attempt has been made to unveil their medicinal value in different contexts. Having au fait with the fact that environment plays a key role in regulating disease epidemiology of a given vector-borne infection, adequate emphasis is laid to trace the various pathways governing the linkages amongst the vector-pathogen-host-triad. The book offers a detailed account of various poisonous and injurious arthropods, along with the venoms’ action on the human being. The book should hopefully serve a good purpose to both the students of zoology and medicine as well as professional researchers.
