The author provides for each disease a description of the vector involved notes on its biology and ecology distribution maps and general clinical guidelines for treatment and control. Among the diseases fully discussed are malaria dengue and yellow fevers lymphatic filariasis spotted fevers ehrlichiosis lyme disease tularemia and plague.
