The fully revised Medical and Veterinary Entomology, fourth edition, will continue 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. Chapters conclude with approaches to management of pest species and prevention of arthropod-borne diseases. This new edition is a comprehensive source for teaching medical and/or veterinary entomology at the college and university level, providing 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.
• Includes a distinguished group of more than 50 nationally and internationally recognized contributors
• Displays more than 500, mostly color, figures and updated maps depicting the distribution of important arthropod taxa and arthropod-borne diseases
• Includes an expanded and well-illustrated updated chapter on molecular tools used in medical and veterinary entomology
• Covers emerging and newly recognized arthropod concerns, including mosquito-borne Zika and Chikungunya viruses; tick-borne Bourbon and Heartland viruses; tick-borne rickettsioses and anaplasmosis; and red meat allergy associated with tick bites
• Provides a new chapter on integrated pest management (IPM) of arthropods of medical and veterinary importance, and a new short section on vinegaroons (Uropygi)
