OverviewAdvances in Arthropod Repellents offers the most current knowledge on arthropod repellents. This area of study is quickly evolving as mosquito- and tick-borne diseases become more prevalent worldwide. Written by global arthropod repellent experts, this book begins by delving into molecule discovery and assay development that is followed by the latest research and investigations of repellent developments and effects. The book then offers readers a look into the global field, semi-field, and laboratory trials using various insect repellents, ranging from Africa, Australia, Europe, South America and the United States. Lastly, it examines the future of spatial repellents and expert insight. This book is a valuable resource for entomologists and vector control researchers and practitioners. Public health officials and developers in private pest control companies, as well as readers in academia will find this a useful resource to learn the latest information available on controlling the spread of arthropod-borne diseases with repellents.

The Role of Arthropod Repellents in the Control of Vector-Borne DiseasesReviewsAuthor InformationJoel Coats, Charles F. Curtiss Distinguished Professor of Entomology, in the Department of Entomology at Iowa State University, received his academic training at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, later obtaining a M.S. and Ph.D. in Entomology, with specialization in insecticide toxicology and environmental toxicology. His research program focuses on insect toxicology and environmental toxicology and chemistry. Current studies are focused on natural products as insecticides and repellents, as well as biorational analogs of them. Dr. Coats received the International Award for Research in Agrochemicals from the American Chemical Society; he is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Fellow of the American Chemical Society, and a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America. He has trained 53 graduate students and published over 200 peer-reviewed publications, including 15 books. Caleb Corona received his Ph.D. degree in Entomology and Toxicology from the lab of Dr. Joel Coats, Iowa State University, where his research focused on the development of novel insecticides and spatial repellents derived from natural products. He received his B.Sc. degree in Biology with a Chemistry minor from King University in Bristol, Tennessee, where he also served as a Teaching Assistant in Chemistry and later an undergraduate research assistant for federally funded Toxicology laboratory under Dr. Vanessa Fitsanakis . He has been invited as a symposium speaker at the Society for Vector Ecology, the Entomological Society of America, and the American Chemical society multiple times over the course of his career. Mustapha Debboun has a Ph.D. in Medical and Veterinary Entomology from the University of Missouri-Columbia, is a Board-Certified Entomologist (BCE) with the Entomological Society of America (ESA) and confirmed with the title of Fellow of the ESA. He has more than 27 years of experience in public health entomology, integrated vector management, personal protective measures, and mosquito/vector-borne diseases where this work has taken him to over 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America. He is currently the General Manager of Mosquito & Vector Control District in Visalia, California. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed scientific articles and co-edited five books. Dr. Debboun organizes national and international symposia, serves on 10 journal editorial review boards, and a reviewer for eight scientific peer-reviewed journals. He is also nationally and internationally recognized for his extensive work on arthropod repellent research and development. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
