Mosquito Biology and Emerging Health Issues

More about the book

Focusing on the evolutionary significance of mosquitoes, the paper highlights their remarkable survival over 30 million years and the emergence of 3,500 species, with only a few affecting humans. It discusses the ongoing challenges in mosquito classification due to the continuous discovery of new species, including recent findings of Topomyia species in Sri Lanka and the invasive Aedes japonicas in Asia. This research underscores the complexity and dynamic nature of mosquito taxonomy, reflecting the need for updated understanding in entomology.
