Arthropods as Vectors of Emerging Diseases

Arthropod Disease Vectors

Arthropod Disease Vectors provides a comprehensive overview of the role of arthropods in the transmission of emerging infectious diseases affecting humans and animals. The book explores how globalization, climate change, and environmental factors contribute to the spread of vector-borne diseases carried by ticks, mites, mosquitoes, flies, and other arthropods. It also discusses disease surveillance, prevention, vector control strategies, and the growing challenges posed by emerging pathogens, making it an essential resource for parasitologists, veterinarians, researchers, and public health professionals.
