With concerns about the rapid spread of insecticide resistance and the long-term effects of pesticide use, and with an eye to an integrated approach, Cameron ((disease control, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) and Lorenz (disease control, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) discuss various strategies for the control of disease vectors. While there are benefits to be derived from single strategies, there are downsides as well, and the editors argue for an integrated approach. Essentially, integrated vector management (IVM) is comprehensive and includes chemical, biological and/or environmental resources to effectively reduce or interrupt disease transmission. An advantage of IVM is that combinations can be more effective. This concise and very readable book is organized into 11 chapters, with various strategies for control: the use of arthropods, larvivorous fish, plants, fungi, semiochemicals, house screening, sanitation, and water management. It is an invaluable resource for researchers, policy makers, and students in tropical medicine and medical entomology. There are ample figures and tables supporting the test, as well as references and a list of contributors. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
