Population Biology of Vector-Borne Diseases: Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases

Editat de John M. Drake, Michael Bonsall, Michael Strand
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 dec 2020
Population 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.

Recenzii

The authors, specialists in their field, created 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.
The current approach and the new directions detailed in this book will improve understanding and, thus, contribute to developing strategies to mitigate VBD risk to humans, crops, and animals.
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. The authors have created 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.
Although marketed as a textbook, each article in the collection is thorough and well researched and could easily stand alone.
