Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Third Edition, targets upper-level undergraduate and graduate/postgraduate students who are taking courses in Medical Entomology, Veterinary Entomology, Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Public Health Entomology, Wildlife Entomology, Vector-Borne Diseases and Emerging Diseases. These courses are taught in various (mainly University) departments, including those that specialize in Biology, Zoology, Entomology, Parasitology and Public Health. Students in Colleges of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine will also benefit from this valuable resource, as will practicing physicians, veterinarians, general entomologists, parasitologists, epidemiologists, and wildlife biologists.
