ReviewsReviews of Volume 1: "... surpassingly accurate and eminently readable..... deserves a prominent place on the reading lists of introductory as well as advanced courses dealing with vector biology." Medical and Veterinary Entomology "... there can be few mosquito biologists who would not learn much by reading this book..... Professor Clements is to be congratulated on his achievement in making such a vast body of knowledge so readily available." Bulletin of Entomological Research

SynopsisNotorious nuisances and major transmitters of disease, mosquitoes are also important experimental animals. This book provides detailed descriptions of the functioning of mosquito sense organs and of the behavioral patterns that enable mosquitoes to survive in a variety of habitats and to find and attack their vertebrate hosts. Mosquitoes have been intensively studied, both in both laboratory and field, and this integrated review of their sensory mechanisms and behavior is an important advance in entomology and in medical biology., Mosquitoes are important as transmitters of widespread major diseases and as nuisance insects. They are also one of the most studied and well-known group of insects, both in the laboratory and in the field. The first volume in The Biology of Mosquitoes series is a key reference work and has received excellent reviews. This second title in the three volume series focuses on the functioning of the mosquito sense organs that provide them with information about the environment and that enable the adult females to find and attack their vertebrate hosts. It also reviews knowledge of the circadian rhythms and other internal mechanisms that regulate the onset and timing of different behaviors. This integrated review of the sensory mechanisms and behavior of mosquitoes provides a unique insight into their biology. The contents, which are fully up-to-date, include much important work from the past which is often overlooked., This integrated review of the sensory mechanisms and behaviour of mosquitoes provides a unique insight into their biology.
