Reviews"The authors, specialists in their field, create a perfect balance between basic concepts and higher level eco-epidemiological connections. Thus, the book will be understood not only by researchers working with VBDs, but also by graduate students or public health specialists." -- Conservation Biology "The book covers the topic in the widest possible sense, from basics in vector population biology to pathogen-vector interactions, ecoepidemiology, social drivers, and control methods of VBDs.

SynopsisPopulation Biology of Vector-Borne Diseases is the first comprehensive survey of this rapidly developing field. The chapter topics provide an up-to-date presentation of classical concepts, reviews of emerging trends, synthesis of existing knowledge, and a prospective agenda for future research. The contributions offer authoritative and international perspectives from leading thinkers in the field. The dynamics of vector-borne diseases are far more intrinsically ecological compared with their directly transmitted equivalents. The environmental dependence of ectotherm vectors means that vector-borne pathogens are acutely sensitive to changing environmental conditions. Although perennially important vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue have deeply informed our understanding of vector-borne diseases, recent emerging viruses such as West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus, and Zika virus have generated new scientific questions and practical problems. The study of vector-borne disease has been a particularly rich source of ecological questions, while ecological theory has provided the conceptual tools for thinking about their evolution, transmission, and spatial extent. Population Biology of Vector-Borne Diseases is an advanced textbook suitable for graduate level students taking courses in vector biology, population ecology, evolutionary ecology, disease ecology, medical entomology, viral ecology/evolution, and parasitology, as well as providing a key reference for researchers across these fields., Population Biology of Vector-Borne Diseases is the first comprehensive survey of this rapidly developing field.
