Editorial Reviews
Review
'In this well-written book, Lehane provides a masterly and well-referenced summary of key aspects of the biology of blood-sucking habit ... This is an accessible and comprehensive introduction to this important subject and deserves to be widely used.' Biologist
' ... provides perhaps the most comprehensive, and a very readable, teaching text for medical entomology available today ... the book provides an excellent start point for students and researchers into all the subject areas associated with blood-feeding insects ... This is a great follow up to a good first edition. The Biology of Blood-Sucking in Insects will be used by teachers of medical entomology, and the cost leaves it well within the student budget. I will be recommending this excellent text to my students.' Parasitology

Book Description
Fully updated since it was first published in 1991, this second edition focuses on the biological modifications common to blood-sucking insects and outlines their medical, social and economic impact. It also covers host-insect interactions and the transmission of parasites by blood-sucking insects. The final chapter is designed as a useful quick-reference section.
