Planetary Health Approaches to Understand and Control Vector-Borne Diseases / / edited by Kimberley Fornace [and four others].

Mosquitoes transmit many of the pathogens that cause zoonotic diseases from wildlife and livestock to people, with devasting consequences for public health. The factors affecting the ecology and evolution of the transmission dynamics of these mosquito-borne pathogens can be revealed using multidisci...
