The first and second editions of Medical and Veterinary Entomology,
edited by Gary R. Mullen and Lance A. Durden, published in 2002 and
2009, respectively, have been highly praised and become widely used
as a textbook for classroom instruction. This fully revised third
edition continues the focus on the diversity of arthropods
affecting human and animal health, with separate chapters devoted
to each of the taxonomic groups of insects and arachnids of medical
or veterinary concern, including spiders, scorpions, mites, and
ticks. Each chapter includes sections on taxonomy, morphology, life
history, and behavior and ecology, with separate sections on those
species of public-health and veterinary importance. Each concludes
with approaches to management of pest species and prevention of
arthropod-borne diseases. The third edition provides a
comprehensive source for teaching medical and/or veterinary
entomology at the college and university level, targeted
particularly at upper-level undergraduate and graduate/postgraduate
programs. In addition to its value as a student textbook, the
volume has appeal to a much broader audience, specialists and
non-specialists alike. It provides a key reference for biologists
in general, entomologists, zoologists, parasitologists, physicians,
public-health personnel, veterinarians, wildlife biologists, vector
biologists, military entomologists, the general public and others
seeking a readable, authoritative account on this important topic.
