Description - Mosquitoes and Their Control by Norbert Becker
Presenting a multitude of information on bionomics, systematics, ecology and control of both pestiferous (nuisance) and disease vectors this text provides practical guidance and important information to both professional and layman alike. Ninety-two species and subspecies belonging to 8 genera and 18 subgenera are described in the fully illustrated identification keys to adult females and males and fourth-instar larvae. The illustrated keys are followed by a detailed description of the morphology, biology and distribution of each species including over 700 detailed drawings. "Mosquitoes and their Control" includes: systematics and biology; medical significance; research techniques; fully illustrated identification keys for larval and adult mosquito genera; morphology, ecology and distribution of the 92 species identified in the keys; biological, chemical and physical control. The book should be a useful tool for vector ecologists, entomologists, and all those involved with mosquito control, biology, ecology and systematics worldwide. It should especially benefit the students, scientists and professionals dealing on a day-to-day basis with mosquitoes and their control.
Society as a whole, stands to gain from improved, environmentally responsible mosquito management programmes designed on the basis of the broader understanding of mosquitoes and their control provided in this book.
