About this book

Numerous methods have been devised to catch mosquitoes and many approaches employed to study their ecology and behaviour but until the first edition of this book in 1976 there was no comprehensive guide to mosquito ecology. New work on the topic has meant that this completely revised and updated second edition was required.

Reviews

As with the 1st edition, mosquito field workers should find this book extremely useful. - Cab Abstracts; ...no-one with serious interests in mosquito biology can afford to be without this book. - Bulletin of Entomological Research; Throughout, this book is well written and well illustrated. It benefits from Professor Service's lucid writing style and his clear explanations of often esoteric mathematical approaches. ... The term indispensable is overused in book reviews, but I find it hard to imagine that any person studying mosquitoes in the field could afford not to have constant access to this book - Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association; As with the 1st edition, mosquito field workers should find this book extremely useful. - CAB Abstracts
