The 20th European Society for Vector Ecology Conference 2016 wants to draw attention to the impact and importance of vectors and vector-borne diseases on landscapes inhabited by human beings and how to make this paradigm most effective to benefit public health. Session subjects are: invasive species: ecology and their potential role as vectors; citizen science and social approaches on vector control; epidemiology of vector-borne diseases and their vectors; ecology and behaviour of vectors; emerging vector-borne diseases and risk assessment; vector-pathogens interactions; taxonomy, systematic and phylogeny of vectors; and advance technologies on vector control.

"Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue focuses on the knowledge, technology, regulation and ethics of using genetically modified mosquitoes to interrupt the transmission of important vector-borne diseases. It contains coverage of the current state of knowledge of vector-borne diseases and how they are currently controlled; various strategies for altering the genome of mosquitoes in beneficial ways; strategies to translate basic knowledge of mosquito physiology and development into novel control efforts, and the regulatory, ethical and social environment concerning these strategies. For more than five decades, the prospect of using genetically-modified mosquitoes to control vector-borne disease transmission has been a purely hypothetical scenario. We simply did not have the technology or basic knowledge to be able to do it. With the explosion of field trials and potential interventions in development, Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue provides a comprehensive overview of research in genetics, microbiology, virology, and ecology involved in the development and implementation of genetic modification programs for virus and disease control. This books is meant to provide a practical guide to researchers, regulators and the general public about how this technology actually works, how it can be improved, and what is still unknown"--

Gestoken of gebeten is een boek over insecten en spinachtigen voor al wie meer wil weten van deze kleine beestjes, en vooral voor wie wil weten welke beestjes bijten en steken en wat daar precies de gevolgen van zijn. Onze leefwereld krioelt van de insecten en spinachtigen zoals mijten, teken en spinnen. Van de wieg tot in het graf houden ze ons gezelschap. Er is geen plaats op de wereld waar ze niet voorkomen. Omdat we voortdurend met die beestjes in aanraking komen, is het belangrijk hun mogelijke gevaar voor onze gezondheid goed in te schatten. Dat alle ectoparasieten, zoals luizen, vlooien, wantsen en schurftmijten, die op ons lichaam parasiteren in dit boek de revue passeren, is vanzelfsprekend. Maar ook alle toevallige stekers, bijters en prikkers die ons tijdelijk last bezorgen, zoals vliegen, muggen, dazen, bijen en wespen, worden beschreven. Het boek biedt antwoorden op vragen zoals: kan een inheemse spin mij bijten? Is schurft besmettelijk? Krijgen alleen schoolkinderen luizen? Kunnen katten- of konijnenvlooien mij bijten? Steken hommels wel? Brengen vliegen, muggen of dazen in onze streken ziekten over? Zijn pissebedden en kakkerlakken wel zo onschuldig? Kunnen insecten mij allergieën bezorgen? Zijn er ook nuttige beestjes die onze gezondheid bevorderen?
