Opis

This edited book is a collection of topic of recent research on Environmental Biology and Toxicology. We have started the book with the Duttaphrynus,a genus of true toads endemic to southwestern and southern China and throughout southern Asia. This chapter is a detail documentation on the characteristics and biology of all extant Duttaphrynus species. In the second section we have focused on the use of remote sensing in biological science especially in the fields of ecology, biodiversity and conservation. The third section deals with different types of mosquito vectors and their bio-ecological characteristics. Different mosquito borne diseases are also discussed with their causative organisms and symptoms of diseases. Different micro-environmental managements through manipulation to prevent mosquitoes have also been discussed. Nanotechnology and their toxic effect is an emerging issue in for the sustainable development of the environment. In this context we have put light on the anti-bacterial activity of the green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. This book is very informative and will be of wide use for the researchers in the frontiers are of Environmental Biology and Toxicology.
