Opis

This book focuses on contemporary developments in mosquito control policies. Through case studies in Africa, the Indian Ocean, America and Europe, this interdisciplinary volume shows that relationships between human societies and mosquitoes are more deeply enmeshed than ever and call into question the old North/South, environment/health dualisms.
