Announcing the new second edition of Medical and Veterinary Entomology by Gary Mullen and Lance Durden.

For medical, veterinary, entomology and public health students, this acclaimed textbook has been fully updated and revised to reflect the most recent advancements. Each chapter is structured with the student in mind, organized by the major headings of Taxonomy, Morphology, Life History, Behavior and Ecology, Public Health and Veterinary Importance, and Prevention and Control. This second edition includes separate chapters devoted to each of the taxonomic groups of insects and arachnids of medical or veterinary concern, including spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks. Internationally recognized editors Mullen and Durden surpass the competition by including extensive coverage of both medical and veterinary entomological importance.

The only text with entire vector to disease coverage that follows in the tradition of Herm's Medical and Veterinary Entomology. The latest information on developments in entomology relating to public health and veterinary importance with two separate indexes for enhanced searchability: Taxonomic and Subject, as well as increased focus on the molecular aspects of entomology, genome projects, and forensic studies.
