About this book

Mosquitoes and their Control presents a multitude of information on bionomics, systematics, ecology and control of both pestiferous (nuisance) and disease vectors in an easily readable style providing practical guidance and important information to both professional and layman alike.
Ninety-two species and subspecies belonging to 8 genera and 18 subgenera are described in the fully illustrated identification keys to adult females and males and fourth-instar larvae. The illustrated keys are followed by a detailed description of the morphology, biology and distribution of each species including over 700 detailed drawings.

Reviews

This book is a very carefully and perfectly researched monograph on European musquitoes. It should be in libraries and institutions working on entomology and of public health laboratories.  It is necessary to congratulate the authors on preparing such an oustanding monograph, which undoubtly will be the foundation for studies on this medically important insect group for many years.
