About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The book provides practical information on personal protective measures and techniques for removing attached ticks. The brief chapter"Why Mosquitoes Cannot Transmit HIV" was particularly interesting, given the epidemic of HIV in areas of the world with high rate of other mosquito-borne diseases. The text also provided several interesting accounts of early experiments and events leading to important discoveries in understanding yellow fever and Lyme disease."-Family Medicine
"Two useful appendixes on signs and symptoms and on diagnostic tests are included....this book is probably of most use to physicians and administrators associated with health agencies and researchers from other fields who are interested in increasing their understanding of the biology of vector-borne diseases. It provides information about the ecology and biology of disease beyond the technical details that are readily available in other sources."-Quarterly Review of Biology
"This book, the second edition, addresses diseases caused by arthropods from an entomological standpoint. … The book is indexed and is profusely illustrated with drawings and black-and-white photographs. … this book fulfils a useful function for clinicians. Because there are no obvious competitors in this particular field, there is every reason to think that this updated second edition will also be successful." (Jeremy Gray, Clinical Infectious Diseases, Vol. 49, July, 2009)
