It covers the practical applications of this knowledge in attempting to control malaria as a problem for world health. The volume begins with a general overview of mosquito life cycle styles and how odour-mediated host location fits into the repertoire of behaviours that a specific species may exhibit. Certain aspects of insect olfaction and its underlying physiological mechanisms are incorporated within the book.Ciba Foundation symposium ;200.MosquitoesControlCongressesSmellCongressesMosquitoesControlSmell614.4/323Bock Gregory322650Cardew Gail857118World Health Organization.Symposium on Olfaction in Mosquito-Host Interactions(1995 :London, England)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910877871003321Olfaction in mosquito-host interactions4201879UNINA
