This comprehensive resource offers extensive information on the bionomics, systematics, ecology, research techniques, and control of both nuisance and disease vector mosquitoes, presented in an accessible style for both professionals and laymen. It covers 92 European species and over 100 globally significant vector and nuisance species, with fully illustrated identification keys that detail the morphology, biology, distribution, and medical significance of each species, complemented by over 700 detailed drawings. The content includes systematics and biology, medical significance, research techniques, and illustrated identification keys for both larval and adult mosquitoes. It also addresses the ecology and distribution of identified species, alongside various control methods—biological, chemical, physical, and genetic. This resource serves as a valuable tool for vector ecologists, entomologists, and anyone involved in mosquito control, biology, and systematics globally. It is particularly beneficial for professionals, scientists, and students who engage with mosquitoes and their management regularly. Enhanced understanding of mosquitoes and their control will ultimately contribute to improved, environmentally responsible mosquito management programs, benefiting society as a whole.
