A mosquito's bite can carry more than an itch, and this book explains exactly how. William Riley's handbook of medical entomology examines the insects and arthropods that spread disease, tracing early suspicions to hard science. Thorough and clear on the creatures that shape human health. For the student of insects who wants to understand their power over our lives. Know the tiny carriers.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
