Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mosquito-borne diseases pose a threat to the health of millions of people, particularly in tropical and sub-tropical environments. In some parts of the world, these diseases are undergoing expansion of their spatial ranges or re-emerging in areas where they have subsided for decades, and it is estimated that many more people could be exposed to a host of mosquito-borne diseases as the climate warms. The control of mosquito disease vectors is therefore of continued importance. This Special Issue aims to review advances in the control and surveillance of mosquito-borne diseases within the journal’s scope of applied entomology, pest management, and insects and public health.
This Special Issue will include original articles presenting research carried out in the laboratory and the field, as well as important case studies, considering medically significant future opportunities and threats to the control and surveillance of mosquitoes.
