Identification and Geographical Distribution of the Mosquitoes of North America, North of Mexico

By Ronald A. Ward, Nathan Daniel Burkett-Cadena, Richard F. Darsie Jr.

The essential guide to North American mosquitoes for
researchers, professionals, and students, now available in an updated third
edition

Because of the
occurrence of mosquito-borne diseases and the widespread distribution of
mosquitoes as pests to humans, professionals must know how to identify them.
With its wealth of information, this book is the only one of its kind available
for specialists working on mosquito-borne diseases and in mosquito control
units, and for introductory and advanced students who study entomology.
First published by
the American Mosquito Control Association in 1981 followed by a second edition
in 2004, this essential guide to North American mosquitoes is now updated in a third
edition. It includes five new species and one new genus that have been recorded
in North America since the second edition along with completely new distribution
maps throughout and updates to its dichotomous keys, bibliography, appendix,
and scientific names. Including exotic species that have been introduced and
today successfully thrive in North America, this book's usefulness to mosquito
control programs cannot be overestimated.
