With the globilization of commerce and the world becoming more intimately connected through the everyday ease of travel, unknown arthropod species are being increasingly encountered. This means access to up-to-date, authoritative information in medical entomology has never been more important. Now in its seventh edition, this book maintains its well-acclaimed status as the ultimate easy-to-use guide to identify disease-carrying arthropods, the common signs and symptoms of vector-borne diseases, and the current recommended procedures for treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes an in-depth chapter with diagnostic aids to help physicians to recognize and accurately diagnose arthropod-related diseases and conditions more easily\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUpdates all chapters with the latest medical and scientific findings, including Zika virus, red meat allergy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for the previous edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The sixth edition continues the previous tradition, in that the information provided is practical and presented in a format optimal for use on an as-needed basis. The addition of color photographs throughout the text (and not just an insert) is a major plus. Additional clinical case histories enliven the text. General guidelines to treatment of conditions resulting from exposure to arthropods and appropriate references to detailed material are also provided. Another aspect, the ‘Bug Coach’ CD-ROM, provides over 100 line drawings, figures, and photos in three sections: (1) arthropods, (2) arthropod-induced diseases and conditions, and (3) an identification guide. The CD also now includes a few brief instructional videos. … This text has come of age at a time when it is needed most. It will especially be valued by health care providers who find themselves in unknown territory, both geographically and medically.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eRichard D. deShazo\u003c\/strong\u003e, M.D., University of Mississippi Medical Center\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I Pathological Conditions Caused by Arthropods and Principles of Their Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Principles of Treatment for Arthropod Bites, Stings, and Other Exposure 2 Allergy to Arthropods 3 Stings 4 Bites 5 Blistering, Dermatitis, and Urticaria from Contact with Arthropods 6 Myiasis (Invasion of Human Tissues by Fly Larvae) 7 Delusions of Parasitosis (Imaginary Insect or Mite Infestations) \u003cb\u003ePART II Identification of Arthropods and the Diseases They Cause \u003c\/b\u003e8 Identification of Medically Important Arthropods 9 Clinician’s Guide to Common Arthropod Bites and Stings \u003cb\u003ePART III Arthropods of Medical Importance \u003c\/b\u003e10 Ants 11 Bees 12 Beetles 13 Bugs (The True Bugs) 14 Caterpillars (Urticating) 15 Centipedes 16 Cockroaches 17 Earwigs 18 Fleas\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e19 Flies (Biting) 20 Flies (Nonbiting) 21 Flies (That Might Cause Myiasis) 22 Lice 23 Millipedes 24 Mites 25 Mosquitoes 26 Moths (Species Whose Scales or Hairs Cause Irritation) 27 Pentastomes (Tongue Worms)\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e28 Scorpions 29 Spiders 30 Ticks 31 Wasps (Yellowjackets, Hornets, and Paper Wasps) \u003cb\u003ePART IV Personal Protection Measures against Arthropods \u003c\/b\u003e32 Pros and Cons of Insect Repellents 33 Arthropod-Specific Personal Protection Techniques \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018986619223,"sku":"9781032338521","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032338521.jpg?v=1750778922","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-goddard-guide-to-arthropods-of-medical-importance-9781032338521","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
