Taylor & Francis Ltd Mosquitopia
Book SynopsisThis edited volume brings together natural scientists, social scientists and humanists to assess if (or how) we may begin to coexist harmoniously with the mosquito. The mosquito is humanity's deadliest animal, killing over a million people each year by transmitting malaria, yellow fever, Zika and several other diseases. Yet of the 3,500 species of mosquito on Earth, only a few dozen of them are really dangerousso that the question arises as to whether humans and their mosquito foe can learn to live peacefully with one another.Chapters assess polarizing arguments for conserving and preserving mosquitoes, as well as for controlling and killing them, elaborating on possible consequences of both strategies. This book provides informed answers to the dual question: could we eliminate mosquitoes, and should we? Offering insights spanning the technical to the philosophical, this is the go to book for exploring humanity's many relationships with the mosquitowhich becomes a journey toTrade Review“This book is a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion provided by a diverse array of authors with unique viewpoints and observations regarding the mosquito-human interaction while we, as humans, contemplate our place within a Mosquitopia.” James Cilek, Medical Entomologist“The collection as a whole is indispensable for anyone with a scholarly interest in mosquitoes, mosquito-borne disease, and mosquito control.”John McNeill, author of Mosquito Empires: Ecology and War in the Greater Caribbean, 1620-1914Table of ContentsFOREWORD by Clifford Mutero Part 1: COULD WE (SHOULD WE) ELIMINATE MOSQUITOES? 1.
