About the Book

This is an up-to-date and comprehensive handbook that presents a wealth of information on the different aspects of one of the largest dipterous family, Culicidae (Mosquitoes). India shares more than ten percent of the global mosquito fauna and this book provides an extensive inventory of extant taxa, along with a detailed description of the key identification features of medically important mosquitoes. This book illustrates updated information on insecticide-based mechanisms of resistance development in vectors and showcases varied host–parasite interactions. This authoritative account is a crucial reference source for mosquito-borne disease control and prevention. This book is meant for researchers, university students, medical entomologists, parasitologists, and public health professionals.

He completed his MSc (Zoology) in 1974 and Ph.D. (Entomology/Zoology) in 1978. He joined the Malaria Research Centre (now National Institute of Malaria Research) in 1981 on a WHO-TDR research project on tribal malaria in south Gujarat, and subsequently the ICMR mainstream as Senior Research Officer at Vector Control Research Centre, Pondicherry in 1984, and as Assistant Director and later Deputy Director at Desert Medicine Research Centre, Jodhpur in 1988. He finally joined as a Scientist ‘F’ (Joint Director) (2000) and subsequently Scientist ‘G’ (Director) & Director-in-Charge (2005/07) at the Centre for Research in Medical Entomology, Madurai (Tamil Nadu State) through 35 years' long and highly distinguished career in diverse medico-entomological research, particularly the various vector-borne diseases (VBDs), in most of States and UTs in the country. He emerited from the ICMR Service in 2013, and was rewarded in continuity with two years; extension to 2015 with all administrative powers. Post-emeritation, he was appointed first as the Visiting Fellow followed by Visiting Professor at Bharathidasan Univ., Trichy (TN) (2015–2016) and subsequently as Visiting Professor at Punjabi Univ., Patiala (Punjab) (2017-2019). He has authored more than 700 scientific titles, 43 books, including a Training Manual, Biosafety for Human Health and the Environment in the Context of the Potential Use of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes (GMMs): A Tool for Biosafety Training based on courses in Africa, Asia and Latin America, 2008–2011, published by the World Health Organization (2015).
