Pests are defined purely from anthropocentric perspective. An
organism is not considered a pest until its activities and life
processes interfere with human health, convenience, comfort or
profits. The importance of health education in the control of
vector-borne diseases cannot be overstated. This should
particularly be targeted at rural communities where the scourges of
these diseases are most pronounced. With adequate commitment by the
government at the federal, state and local levels as well as from
private sectors, considerable success could be achieved in the
battle against pests. This book represents an excellent addition to
the literature on Integrated Pest Management (IPM). A historical
overview traces the origins and concepts of pest organisms, their
classification and general characteristics and the basic
terminologies are given. The philosophy and goal of IPM and
specific examples of chemical, cultural, biological, physical and
mechanical approaches to IPM are discussed. The book is enriched
with accounts of IPM practices and progression in the developing
countries and the problems and prospects of implementation and the
future of IPM highlighted. Also included is an interesting account
of medical important arthropods and their management. A rich
bibliography accompanies every chapter.
