Despite numerous scientific investigations on vector-borne human infections such as malaria, filariasis, Lyme disease and typhus, these diseases continue to threaten human health. Understanding the role of vectors in disease transmission, and the most appropriate control strategies, is therefore essential. This book provides information on the recognition, biology, ecology and medical importance of the arthropods that affect human health. The fifth edition of this popular textbook is completely updated, and incorporates the latest strategies for controlling insects, ticks and mites. Numerous illustrations, with new colour photographs of some of the most important vectors, aid recognition. A glossary of entomological and epidemiological terms is included, along with a list of commonly used insecticides and their trade names. Clearly presented in a concise style, this text is aimed at students of medical entomology, tropical medicine, parasitology and pest control. It is also essential reading for physicians, health officials and community health workers.

"The Diverse Faces of Bacillus cereus elucidates salient characteristics of this microorganism, from its environmental and ecologic relevance, to its veterinary involvement and its medical aspects, the latter including several and diverse syndromes such as the most common Bacillus cereus-associated foodborne poisoning and the less frequent airway disease mimicking anthrax. Bacillus cereus has an almost ubiquitary environmental distribution and may cause serious, even fatal, human diseases as well. The bacterium, nevertheless, is also used as a biocontrol agent to face microorganism-related vegetable decay due to its natural antimicrobial properties. Once considered as a mere colonizer or contaminant, in fact, Bacillus cereus is nowadays acquiring increasing importance both as an agent of infections and as an organism of biotechnological and agricultural interest. Also, researchers, clinicians, and students alike will benefit from this clear compendium on the phenotype-based and molecular techniques and procedures that may be adopted or followed to correctly identify this intriguing multi-faceted microorganism."--
