The essential guide to North American mosquitoes for researchers, professionals, and students, now available in an updated third edition
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 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 introductory and advanced students who study entomology.
First published by the American Mosquito Control Association in 1981 followed by a second edition in 2004, this essential guide to North American mosquitoes is now updated in a third edition. It includes five new species and one new genus that have been recorded in North America since the second edition along with completely new distribution maps throughout and updates to its dichotomous keys, bibliography, appendix, and scientific names. Including exotic species that have been introduced and today successfully thrive in North America, this book’s usefulness to mosquito control programs cannot be overestimated.
Ronald A. Ward (1929–2017) was a medical entomologist at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington, D.C.
Nathan Daniel Burkett-Cadena is associate professor of entomology at the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory at the University of Florida. Burkett-Cadena is the author of Mosquitoes of the Southeastern United States.
