With the exception of a few tropical medicine schools worldwide, current medical education programs include almost zero discussion of the interface between infectious diseases and entomology. That is why this book was initially published in the first edition almost 17 years ago.
The third edition of this valuable infectious disease entomology book updates all existing chapters with the newest scientific developments described in the medical and entomological literature in addition to covering 10 entirely new topics not addressed in previous editions, which include:
arthropod identification controversies
early beginnings of public health and disease control
red-meat allergy
updates on vaccine development for dengue and malaria
discussion of Chikungunya and Zika viruses
American Boutonnneuse Fever
the newest controversies in Lyme disease
recent findings of viruses in ticks
bed bug bite reactions
Morgellons disease (an imaginary infectious disease) |
