Designing a Mosquito Sampling Programme

  • Chapter
Mosquito Ecology

Interest in mosquito ecology and the use of appropriate sampling methods commenced at the beginning of the nineteenth century with the discovery that mosquitoes could act as vectors of diseases to humans and domestic animals. Since those early days, the science and technology of mosquito sampling have developed apace, as evidenced by the increase in size and scope of successive editions of this book.
