Editorial Reviews

'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

'… a useful and up-to-date book that will be of interest to medical and veterinary medical entomologists and parasitologists …' Journal of Insect Conservation
