Advances in Arthropod Repellents offers the most current knowledge on arthropod repellents. This area of study is quickly evolving as mosquito- and tick-borne diseases become more prevalent worldwide. Written by global arthropod repellent experts, this book begins by delving into molecule discovery and assay development that is followed by the latest research and investigations of repellent developments and effects. The book then offers readers a look into the global field, semi-field, and laboratory trials using various insect repellents, ranging from Africa, Australia, Europe, South America and the United States. Lastly, it examines the future of spatial repellents and expert insight.

This book is a valuable resource for entomologists and vector control researchers and practitioners. Public health officials and developers in private pest control companies, as well as readers in academia will find this a useful resource to learn the latest information available on controlling the spread of arthropod-borne diseases with repellents.

Discusses recent progress on understanding how insect repellents work, as well as modern methods for finding new molecules and formulations Edited by a team whose expertise includes cutting-edge insect repellent research and development Serves as a reference and resource that will be useful to a wide variety of professionals, particularly those in public health and vector control

Crop losses due to insect pests can be economically devastating to farmers and lead to the risk of food shortages. Pest-vectored disease can cause significant economic shortfalls and decimate public health by causing significant morbidity and mortality, especially in economically disadvantaged populations and those in neglected, developing regions. Traditionally, synthetic pesticides have been utilized to reduce these grave agricultural and public health concerns. However, pesticide overuse and misuse have led to widespread pesticide resistance and select environmental impacts that limit their long-term utility. Therefore, it is necessary to find new control approaches and chemistries that can reduce pest pressure sustainably without adverse environmental impacts.Green Chemistry for Pest Management addresses the known examples of utilizing natural chemistry and other non-traditional methods to control pest insects, plants and rodents. Natural pesticides from plant, microbiological and animal sources are discussed, as is the use of natural products as lead compounds for the synthesis of biorational and semisynthetic pesticides.
