Reviews

 “This volume provides a nice overview of these approaches and some of the issues involved—droplet sizes, wallspraying tactics, and the like. It should be on the bookshelves of anyone involved in the fight against mosquitoes.”  (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 June 2013) ""Essential for anyone involved in vector control or its funding... The availability of the text as an e-book on Kindle will make it available to a much wider readership and provide a portable reference for travel and field work."" (International Press Control, 1 November 2011) “Matthews has done a great job in describing the many options we have to control vector-borne diseases...both for those starting in the field, as well as veterans, the book is of value and a worthy addition to the limited number of recent books on the topic...Five Stars” Bart Knols, MalariaWorld.org
