"Arthropods are well known vectors for the spread of diseases. Thus their invasion from foreign countries and their spreading close to human dwellings must be blocked everywhere (in donor and receptor countries) using safe and effective measures.This book presents reviews on examples of such arthropod-borne emerging diseases that lurk on the fringes of our crowded megacities. The following topics show that there is an ongoing invasion of potential vectors and that control measures must be used now in order to avoid disastrous outbreaks of mass diseases."

"Arthropod vectors of human infections, such as malaria, filariasis, West Nile virus, Lyme disease and typhus, are a continuing threat to human health. Medical Entomology for Students provides basic information on the recognition, biology, ecology, and medical importance of the arthropods that affect human health. The fourth edition of this popular textbook is completely updated, and now incorporates the latest strategies for controlling insects, ticks and mites. Extensive illustrations, with new colour photographs of some of the most important vectors and pests, will assist readers in recognizing arthropods such as mosquitoes, flies, and myiasis causing larvae. With a clear presentation and concise style, this text is specifically aimed at students of medical entomology, tropical medicine, parasitology, and pest control. It will also be essential reading for physicians, nurses, health officials, and community health workers"

"Penyakit tular vektor merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat, diantaranya demam berdarah dengue (DBD) yang ditularkan oleh Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus serta filariasis yang ditularkan Culex quinquefasciatus. Pemberantasan penyakit tersebut dilakukan dengan memberantas vektornya terutama menggunakan insektisida. Untuk mengurangi efek negatif insektisida, dewasa ini pemberantasan vektor diupayakan dengan pemberantasan biologik antara lain dengan Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti).Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui lama efek residu Bti terhadap Ae.albopictus dan Cx.quinquefasciatus. Desain penelitian ini adalah eksperimental. Sebanyak 100 larva instar III Ae.albopictus dan Cx.quinquefasciatus yang berasal dari koloni laboratorium dimasukkan ke dalam bak fiber glass, keramik, dan semen yang berukuran 60 x 60 x 60 cm3 dan berisi 125 L air. Selanjutnya diteteskan Bti dengan konsentrasi 2 ml/m2 lalu diobservasi selama 24 jam kemudian dihitung jumlah larva yang mati. Selanjutnya dilihat perkembangan pada minggu-minggu berikutnya dan penelitian ini dihentikan sampai jumlah larva yang mati <70%. Sebagai kontrol 100 larva dimasukkan ke bak dengan jenis dan ukuran yang sama namun tidak diberikan Bti. Lama efek residu Bti dalam membunuh larva Ae.albopictus di ketiga bak adalah dua minggu sedangkan terhadap Cx. quinquefasciatus di bak semen dan keramik adalah satu minggu, dan di bak fiber glass dua minggu. Pada uji McNemar didapatkan p <0,05 yang berarti terdapat perbedaan bermakna. Disimpulkan efek residu Bti terhadap Ae. albopictus lebih lama dibandingkan Cx. quinquefasciatus.Vector borne diseases is a public health problem, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) which is transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus and filariasis transmitted by Culex quinquefasciatus. The control of the disease by controlling vector mainly using insecticides. To reduce the negative effects of insecticides, today?s control of the vector attempted with biological eradication, among others, with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti).

This study aims to determine residual effect of Bti against Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus. This experimental study was performed using 100 third instar larvae Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus from laboratory colonies introduced into containers of fiber glass, ceramics, and cement which measures 60 x 60 x 60 cm3 and containing 125 L of water. The concentrations of Bti was 2 ml/m2 then observed for 24 hours and then counted the number of dead larvae. After that, the progress of the study seen in the following weeks and the study was stopped until the number of larvae that died <70%. As control 100 larvae introduced to the same type an size containers but not given Bti. Residual effect of Bti against Ae. albopictus larvae in the three containers is two weeks whereas against Cx. quinquefasciatus in the containers of cement and ceramic is one week, and in the fiber glass is two weeks. McNemar test showed p <0,05, which means there is significant difference. It was concluded that residual effect of Bti against Ae. albopictus is longer than Cx. quinquefasciatus."

"The Insects has been the standard textbook in the field since the first edition published over forty years ago. Building on the strengths of Chapman's original text, this long-awaited 5th edition has been revised and expanded by a team of eminent insect physiologists, bringing it fully up-to-date for the molecular era. The chapters retain the successful structure of the earlier editions, focusing on particular functional systems rather than taxonomic groups and making it easy for students to delve into topics without extensive knowledge of taxonomy. The focus is on form and function, bringing together basic anatomy and physiology and examining how these relate to behaviour. This, combined with nearly 600 clear illustrations, provides a comprehensive understanding of how insects work. Now also featuring a richly illustrated prologue by George McGavin, this is an essential text for students, researchers and applied entomologists alike"--"
