Mosquito Borne Diseases in India: Current Status and Prospects of Elimination

The book “Mosquito-borne Diseases in India: Current Status and Prospects of Elimination” provides a comprehensive exploration of the current understanding of mosquito borne diseases in India. It aims to stimulate research interest among emerging scientists, vector biologists, and entomologists, guiding them in comprehending disease epidemiology and devising effective intervention strategies for transmission control and elimination. Each chapter delves into the endemic diseases prevalent in India, such as Malaria, Lymphatic Filariasis, Japanese Encephalitis, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika, providing detailed insights into disease transmission dynamics. It highlights key areas for research, emphasizing the need for decisive actions to disrupt disease transmission effectively. The book not only consolidates scattered knowledge but also serves as a vital reference material for teaching and research purposes. Additionally, book also covers fundamental aspects of disease epidemiology, supplemented with a glossary to aid understanding for students and beginners in Medical Entomology research. With its relevance to control programs, medical colleges, and researchers, this book serves as a valuable resource, encouraging ongoing research efforts to overcome the challenges on the path towards ending disease transmission targeting elimination.
