The book deals with diverse subject areas,
and contains descriptions of standard as well as highly specialized methods
used by medical, veterinary, entomolgy, and plant pathology experts. The
artificial borders between the diverse fields have been bridged to acquaint
researchers with the work and methods of investigators in distant, yet
related domains.The familiarity with the different techniques and materials
used for a particular group of vectors often can be shared and applied to
other vector groups. Pitfalls and difficulties encountered during laboratory
maintenance of vectors, safety measures to prevent contamination, and escape
of insects, ticks, nematodes, and fungal vectors have been stressed.
Chapters are well documented with tables, illustrations, and upto-date
bibliographies.
