Abstract

There remain several topics of a more general nature that do not conveniently fit into the preceding chapters, but which need to be referred to, albeit briefly. For example, there are some recent publications on mosquito sampling, ecology and biology, and modelling mosquito populations as well as certain pertinent statistical papers, especially those that help decide sample size. I have been rather selective in choosing examples of such publications, but nevertheless hope that those I have chosen will prove useful to those wishing to pursue these topics further.
