Mosquitoes are significant vectors that transmit various pathogens to humans and other
mammals. Mosquitoes seem to be omnipresent and easily breed in climates favourable
to them. Life cycle of the Aedes species of mosquitoes is similar to others of its
genera. This book focuses on Aedes mosquitoes that are responsible for many dreadful
diseases and discusses every stage in the life cycle of the species. The contributing
authors of this book have extensive teaching and research experience in the field
of detection of viruses of Dengue, Chikungunya, yellow fever and West Nile. One of
the contributing authors, Prof. Vinod Joshi, has researched on Dengue viruses for
17 years. The book provides a detailed account of the distribution of Aedes mosquitoes,
their role as a vector and their control through various methods. Currently, there
has been increased interest among researchers to mitigate the threat caused by Aedes
mosquitoes and substantial investigation is being done on the mosquito's history,
in characterizing present circumstances and to collaborate future efforts
