The Ecology of Malaria Vectors

This practical book covers all aspects of the biology of malaria vectors, with notes on the vectors of dengue. It is designed to fill the gap between very specialised texts and undergraduate books on general disease vectors, and is ideal as a textbook for postgraduate courses in entomology and mosquito vectors of disease.
