• Sommario/riassunto: This title offers comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of non-insecticidal control. Non-insecticidal control measures for vectors of human disease are seeing a resurgence due to concerns over the rapid development and spread of insecticide resistance and environmental impacts. This is a highly topical subject. It covers the theory and practice of non-insecticidal control including the use of botanical biocides and insect-derived semiochemicals. It details the theory of how each method works. It provides examples of successful applications in the field, and recommendations for futu
