This book gathers contributions by 39 international specialists on
well-known but neglected mosquito-borne diseases. The authors
highlight pathogens that are increasingly being spread worldwide by
various mosquito species, a situation worsened further by migration
and tourism. The book addresses significant agents of diseases like
AIDS, dengue, Zika virus, malaria and even cancer, and the risk of
transmission via mosquito-related vectors. In addition, it examines
important means of preventing the outbreak of related diseases by
using insecticides and/or repellents. A particular focus is on the
unique and sophisticated mouthparts of bloodsucking species, which
allow them to feed on blood in an undisturbed manner, and by means
of which agents of disease can enter potential human and animal
hosts. In brief, the book provides a broad range of information for
a wide readership, including graduates, teachers and researchers in
the fields of parasitology, virology, tropical medicine and
microbiology, as well as practitioners and healthcare officials.
