Reviews

From the reviews of the third edition: <p> To have a new, updated edition is more than had been hoped for, and a real credit to John Silver a ] who took on the necessary revision and produced such an excellent book. a ] Mosquito Ecology is an essential purchase for any readers of the Annals who have an interest in vector-borne disease, and will be a welcome arrival for those researchers who have tried unsuccessfully to obtain the second edition. Hopefully, this third edition will remain available for a lot longer than the second. (P. J. McCall, Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, Vol. 102 (7), 2008)
