Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 3rd Edition, edited by Gary R. Mullen and Lance A. Durden, is a comprehensive textbook examining arthropods that affect human and animal health. The volume surveys how diverse insects and arachnids function as venomous hazards, pests, and vectors of pathogens.
Dedicated taxonomic chapters evaluate major lineages such as mosquitoes, ticks, lice, and mites. Each chapter examines taxonomy, morphology, life history, and behavior, linking biological principles to pest management and disease prevention.
The textbook is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in medical, veterinary, public health, and wildlife entomology courses. It also serves as a professional reference for veterinarians, physicians, epidemiologists, and wildlife biologists.
