Biological and Environmental Control of Disease Vectors
Covering the theory and practice of non-insecticidal control of insect vectors of human disease
This book provides an overview of methods including the use of botanical biocides and insect-derived semiochemicals, with an overall focus on integrated vector management strategies.
While the mainstay of malaria control programmes relies on pesticides, there is a resurgence in the research and utilisation of non-insecticidal control measures due to concerns over rapid development and spread of insecticide resistance, and long-term environmental impacts.
This book provides examples of successful applications in the field and recommendations for future use.
