Rosendaal J.A. Vector control: Methods for use by individuals and communities

World Health Organization, 1997. — 424 p.
The textbook occupies a unique niche. Unlike most books dealing with vector control that are oriented toward principles of management implemented by governmental agencies, Vector Control addresses the ways that management might be accomplished directly by community members at local levels. It provides individuals living in a community with guidelines for identifying the local vectors and the diseases they transmit and shows how to reduce the populations of the vectors and the degree of human contact with the arthropods that may still remain, by using effective drawings and informative sidebars to emphasize common sense approaches. Thus, the book is strongly orientated toward application, but still manages to contribute some basic principles of medical entomology. It is also heavily oriented toward diseases and vectors that are common in the tropics.
