A colour atlas of tropical medicine and parasitology

by Wallace Peters

The Arthropoda include many species of Insecta such as mosquitoes that transmit viral, bacterial and other diseases of major importance to man and animals including, for example, yellow fever and malaria. Other arthropods such as the Arachnida are also of importance through their role as disease vectors or by causing envenomation. This book containing 990 illustrations, mostly colour photographs, is the first to illustrate examples of the whole gamut of the Arthropoda in relation to the diseases of Man and of other clinically important conditions, eg, direct infestation of the skin and other organs.
