Cabi Biological And Environmental Control Of Disease Vectors by Cameron M Et Al
This title offers comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of non-insecticidal control. Non-insecticidal control measures for vectors of human disease are seeing a resurgence due to concerns over the rapid development and spread of insecticide resistance and environmental impacts. This is a highly topical subject. It covers the theory and practice of non-insecticidal control including the use of botanical biocides and insect-derived semiochemicals. It details the theory of how each method works. It provides examples of successful applications in the field, and recommendations for future use in vector control programmes. It focuses on methods applicable in low-resource settings. It is suitable for researchers, students and policymakers in tropical medicine and medical entomology.
