Medical and Veterinary Entomology is a comprehensive text and is
primarily intended for graduate students and upper level undergraduates
studying the medical and veterinary significance of insects and related
arthropods. The book will also appeal to a larger audience, specialists
and non-specialists alike, including entomologists, parasitologists,
biologists, epidemiologists, physicians, public health personnel,
veterinarians, wildlife specialists and others looking for a readable,
authoritative book on this topic. The first two chapters provide
overviews of medical-veterinary entomology and epidemiology,
respectively.

These are followed by individual chapters devoted to each group of
insects or arachnids of medical-veterinary importance and the health
problems they can cause including their role as vectors of pathogens.
Each of these chapters provides an overview of the taxonomy, biology and
ecology of the group, and is followed by separate sections on their
medical and veterinary importance, then by a section on prevention and
control and, finally, by a list of references and further reading.
