    Vector-borne diseases are becoming increasingly difficult to control worldwide due to factors such as insecticide resistance and climate change, which facilitate their spread and alter transmission dynamics. As conventional tools fail more frequently, the demand for innovative vector control strategies continues to grow. In this book, Charlwood and co-authors review current and emerging methods for controlling disease vectors, with a particular focus on malaria mosquitoes. The book serves as an introduction for newcomers to the field, featuring chapters on mosquito ecology and sampling techniques. At the same time, it offers seasoned professionals an opportunity to stay up to date with the latest advancements. Culture and
    Vector-Borne Disease and The Role of Politics in Vector Control offer thought-provoking insights and are essential reading for both novice researchers and experienced control practitioners.
