Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
This book covers modeling of insect vector-borne infectious diseases, which account
for some three million deaths worldwide. The authors describe processes for quantifying
the vital parameters of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, sand flies, fleas and
ticks. Despite great advances in public health worldwide, insect vector-borne infectious
diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Diseases that are transmitted
by arthropods such as mosquitoes, sand flies, fleas, and ticks affect hundreds of
millions of people and account for nearly three million deaths all over the world.
In the past there was very little hope of controlling the epidemics caused by these
diseases, but modern advancements in science and technology are providing a variety
of ways in which these diseases can be handled. Clearly, the process of transmission
of an infectious disease is a nonlinear dynamic process which can be understood only
by appropriately quantifying the vital parameters that govern these dynamics
