Ecology of Diseases Transmitted by Mosquitoes to Wildlife

Mosquito-Borne Diseases in Wildlife, Volume 7

Edited by Rafael Gutiérrez-López, James G. Logan, and other contributors, this volume examines the ecology and transmission of mosquito-borne pathogens affecting wildlife, including animals in captivity. It explores how environmental changes, deforestation, urbanization, and land-use patterns influence mosquito distribution and disease transmission. The book also reviews modern techniques for identifying mosquito vectors and approaches to disease monitoring and control, highlighting the implications for wildlife health and public health.
