Download or read book Identification and Geographical Distribution of the Mosquitos of North America North of Mexico written by Richard F. Darsie and published by Gainesville : University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greatly anticipated and sorely needed, this book updates the successful guide to North American mosquitoes published by the American Mosquito Control Association in 1981. It includes 12 new species that have since been added to the North American mosquito fauna, revised distribution maps of all species, and revised and completely illustrated identification keys for the adult females and fourth instar larvae of all 174 species and subspecies known to occur in North America, north of Mexico. In chapters on adult and larval morphology, the coauthors--both world-renowned in their field of taxonomy--discuss the anatomical structures mentioned in the keys and pictured on full-page plates. They provide separate generic keys for adult females and larvae and keys to the species of each genus. In addition, they show the geographical distribution of each taxon in a series of maps and include a synopsis of the occurrence of species in the states and provinces of the United States and Canada. This book's usefulness to mosquito control programs cannot be overestimated. For example, it deals with 9 exotic species that have been introduced and today successfully thrive in North America. Several are increasing their range and this book will help identify these species when they first invade an area. Because of the occurrence of mosquito-borne diseases and the widespread distribution of mosquitoes as pests to humans, professionals must know how to identify them. With its wealth of up-to-date information, this book is the only one of its kind available for specialists working on mosquito-borne diseases and in mosquito control units and for both introductory and advanced students who study entomology.
Download or read book Saving Lives Buying Time written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 50 years, low-cost antimalarial drugs silently saved millions of lives and cured billions of debilitating infections. Today, however, these drugs no longer work against the deadliest form of malaria that exists throughout the world. Malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africaâ€"currently just over one million per yearâ€"are rising because of increased resistance to the old, inexpensive drugs. Although effective new drugs called "artemisinins" are available, they are unaffordable for the majority of the affected population, even at a cost of one dollar per course. Saving Lives, Buying Time: Economics of Malaria Drugs in an Age of Resistance examines the history of malaria treatments, provides an overview of the current drug crisis, and offers recommendations on maximizing access to and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs. The book finds that most people in endemic countries will not have access to currently effective combination treatments, which should include an artemisinin, without financing from the global community. Without funding for effective treatment, malaria mortality could double over the next 10 to 20 years and transmission will intensify.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mosquitoes: How They Live; How They Carry Disease; How They Are Classified; Hoe They May Be Destoryed Among summer residents of the country, and especially near the sea-shore, even before the agency of mosquitoes in the spread of disease became established, and before it became a generally accepted fact. With the very per feet proof that the mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles are instrumental in the carriage of malaria, the interest be came intensified, and the late discovery of our Army Yellow-fever Commission in Cuba, that a mosquito is the conveyor of yellow fever, has added to the general interest in the subject. In fact, the whole mosquito question is a live topic of the day. Knowledge of mosquito habits is more general than at any previous time, and almost every one is interested in the subject of mosquito extermina tion. Ivith the knowledge which we now possess, it seems almost incredible that people should all these years have suffered, more or less patiently, the torment ing bites of Culex and the insidious but more dangerous punctures of Anopheles without making the slightest ef fort to abate the nuisance and the danger, beyond slap ping, in a revengeful way, at individual biters. In many places infested with mosquitoes nothing could be easier than to put a stop to the whole tormenting plague. In many other cases the problem is a more difficult one, but in even the worst cases, by a judicious effort, which should be a community effort, and by the expenditure of a greater or smaller amount of money, much relief can be gained. In fact, Mr. W. J. Matheson, of New York, was quite right when, in the summer of 1900, just before com mencing a successful crusade against the mosquitoes on the north shore of Long Island, he wrote me that there.
