Overview
- Brings together papers on vector ecology, molecular biology as applied to mosquito vector control, and mosquito biological control together in one volume
- Covers control of mosquitoes and other vectors in California and from elsewhere around the world
- Centres around the achievements of one individual (and his students and colleagues) who has worked in this field of research for more than 50 years which is a highly unusual achievement in any discipline
- Deals with successful approaches using strategies which are environmentally friendly, which is becoming of increasing importance and so will be useful as a guide to future strategies employed by emerging vector ecologists
