Download or read book Integrated Mosquito Control Methodologies: Biocontrol and other innovative components, and future directions written by Marshall Laird and published by London ; Toronto : Academic Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book supplements the information given in Volume 1 on the conventional methods of chemical control, with accounts of the ecological basis and economic aspects of bio-control. Special attention is given to innovative approaches such as the use of entomopathogenic bacteria. The other control methods discussed include the use of appropriate insect growth regulators, organo-phosphate and carbamate poisoning of adults and ways in which communities can help to reduce the sources of favourable environments for mosquito reproduction.**FROM THE PREFACE: As this second and last volume of Integrated Mosquito Control Methodologies goes to press, it would be heartening to be able to record a rapidly diversifying application of such solutions to pest and vector problems. Regrettably, this is not yet possible. Our contributors have proffered much information which will serve as the basis for future such methodologies, with attention to relevant application technology, and a number of the examples they furnish illustrate ways in which two or more basically different approaches (chemical, environmental, or biological) have been purposely or fortuitously combined in the past. Yet in assembling the chapters, it proved impossible to obtain any accounts of integrated control projects so far designed and implemented for mosquito suppression on a larger scale than that of the operation against Aedes aegypti on the atoll of Funafuti (human population circa 2000), Tuvalu, an outline of which concludes this work.**Nevertheless, this can serve as a model for far larger undertakings employing the same innovative and conventional control agents (all of them currently available commercially) and appropriate new ones as they are developed, also for similar approaches to public relations and community involvement. For it is confidently believed that the Tuvalu methodology could be adapted with equal effect against other Culicidae of health importance, from the indigenous tropical Pacific container-breeders (e.g., Aedes polynesiensis), transmitting Bancroftian filariasis, to small-island populations of such surface-water breeders as the Melanesian malaria vectors of the Anopheles farauti complex--where exophily would pose new adulticiding problems, while the larval habitats would be open to a wider range of biocontrol agents, including appropriate larvivores, the importation of which would be unlikely to pose threats to the economy in islands lacking the natural basis for a freshwater fishery. We specify small-island populations of vector mosquitoes in this context because the simplification of ecological circumstances pertinent to disease transmission, and of public relations issues involving the humans being protected, make it far easier to develop integrated control methodologies there than in continental areas with heavy urbanization.

Book Synopsis Integrated Pest Management for Developing Countries by : Chigozie Jesse Uneke
Download or read book Integrated Pest Management for Developing Countries written by Chigozie Jesse Uneke and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pests are defined purely from anthropocentric perspective. An organism is not considered a pest until its activities and life processes interfere with human health, convenience, comfort or profits. The importance of health education in the control of vector-borne diseases cannot be overstated. This should particularly be targeted at rural communities where the scourges of these diseases are most pronounced. With adequate commitment by the government at the federal, state and local levels as well as from private sectors, considerable success could be achieved in the battle against pests. This book represents an excellent addition to the literature on Integrated Pest Management (IPM). A historical overview traces the origins and concepts of pest organisms, their classification and general characteristics and the basic terminologies are given. The philosophy and goal of IPM and specific examples of chemical, cultural, biological, physical and mechanical approaches to IPM are discussed. The book is enriched with accounts of IPM practices and progression in the developing countries and the problems and prospects of implementation and the future of IPM highlighted. Also included is an interesting account of medical important arthropods and their management. A rich bibliography accompanies every chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous methods have been devised to catch mosquitoes and many approaches employed to study their ecology and behaviour but until the first edition of this book in 1976 there was no comprehensive guide to mosquito ecology. New work on the topic has meant that this completely revised and updated second edition was required.
Book Synopsis Medical and Veterinary Entomology by : Gary R. Mullen
Download or read book Medical and Veterinary Entomology written by Gary R. Mullen and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first and second editions of Medical and Veterinary Entomology, edited by Gary R. Mullen and Lance A. Durden, published in 2002 and 2009, respectively, have been highly praised and become widely used as a textbook for classroom instruction. This fully revised third edition continues the focus on the diversity of arthropods affecting human and animal health, with separate chapters devoted to each of the taxonomic groups of insects and arachnids of medical or veterinary concern, including spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks. Each chapter includes sections on taxonomy, morphology, life history, and behavior and ecology, with separate sections on those species of public-health and veterinary importance. Each concludes with approaches to management of pest species and prevention of arthropod-borne diseases. The third edition provides a comprehensive source for teaching medical and/or veterinary entomology at the college and university level, targeted particularly at upper-level undergraduate and graduate/postgraduate programs. In addition to its value as a student textbook, the volume has appeal to a much broader audience, specialists and non-specialists alike. It provides a key reference for biologists in general, entomologists, zoologists, parasitologists, physicians, public-health personnel, veterinarians, wildlife biologists, vector biologists, military entomologists, the general public and others seeking a readable, authoritative account on this important topic. Completely revised and updated edition Includes a distinguished group of 40 nationally and internationally recognized contributors Sixteen new authors, in addition to 25 continuing contributors from the first and second editions A new chapter on Arthropod Toxins and Venoms Illustrated with 560, mostly color, figures and updated maps depicting the distribution of important arthropod taxa and arthropod-borne diseases A significantly expanded and well-illustrated chapter on Molecular Tools Used in Medical and Veterinary Entomology Coverage of emerging and newly recognized arthropod concerns, including mosquito-borne Zika and Chikungunya viruses; tick-borne Bourbon and Heartland viruses; tick-borne rickettsioses and anaplasmosis; and red meat allergy associated with tick bites A 1700-word Glossary An Appendix of Arthropod-Related Viruses of Medical and Veterinary Importance
Book Synopsis Biological and Environmental Control of Disease Vectors by : Mary M. Cameron
Download or read book Biological and Environmental Control of Disease Vectors written by Mary M. Cameron and published by CABI. This book was released on 2013 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the theory and practice of non-insecticidal control of insect vectors of human disease, this book provides an overview of methods including the use of botanical biocides and insect-derived semiochemicals, with an overall focus on integrated vector management strategies. While the mainstay of malaria control programmes relies on pesticides, there is a resurgence in the research and utilisation of non-insecticidal control measures due to concerns over rapid development and spread of insecticide resistance, and long-term environmental impacts. This book provides examples of successful applications in the field and recommendations for future use.
Book Synopsis Insecticides in Agriculture and Environment by : Albert S. Perry
Download or read book Insecticides in Agriculture and Environment written by Albert S. Perry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Albert S. Perry passed away suddenly on February 18, 1992, leaving behind his grieving family, friends and colleagues. It was his aspiration to produce a comprehensive work on insecticides to summarize his lifelong dedication to the field of entomology and public health. On the day before his operation, he expressed his desire with the following words: . "1 am coming out of this surgery and will recuperate from it as soon as possible for the sake of my boy (then aged three) and the book". He also told me that he would like to add a chapter on IPM (Integrated Pest Management) and suggested that we write it together. The sad reality is that none of this took place the way he had planned and these became his last words. On my own, I found it difficult to proceed with the writing of the IPM chapter, since several chapters are required to cover· this subject and, in fact, several books. are already devoted to IPM. There was even an IPM article written in a journal (Awake 1983) for a general audience to which he commented that he would like to use it someday because it was well written for laymen, thus providing the readers a wide selection of journals and books to choose from.
