Covering the theory and practice of non-insecticidal control of insect vectors of human disease, this book provides an overview of methods including the use of botanical biocides and insect-derived semiochemicals, with an overall focus on integrated vector management strategies. While the mainstay of malaria control programmes relies on pesticides, there is a resurgence in the research and utilisation of non-insecticidal control measures due to concerns over rapid development and spread of insecticide resistance, and long-term environmental impacts. This book provides examples of successful applications in the field and recommendations for future use.

Wie beeinflusst der Klimawandel die Gesundheit vulnerabler Bevölkerungsgruppen – und was bedeutet das für Praxis, Lehre und Forschung? Dieses Fachbuch vereint wissenschaftliche Expertise und praxisorientiertes Wissen zu den drängenden Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Im Fokus stehen nicht nur die individuellen Gesundheitsrisiken, sondern auch die systemischen Auswirkungen auf Institutionen, Infrastrukturen, Fachkräfte und Betroffene.Interdisziplinär, multiprofessionell und zukunftsorientiert beleuchtet das Werk die komplexen Wechselwirkungen von Umweltveränderungen und Vulnerabilität. Es bietet fundierte Analysen zu Klimaphänomenen wie Hitze oder Extremwetter, beleuchtet transdisziplinäre Konzepte wie Planetary Health und stellt konkrete Lösungsansätze für Klimapreparedness, Bildungsarbeit und Versorgung vor. Ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk für Wissenschaftler*innen, Lehrende, Praktiker*innen und Entscheidungsträger*innen – mit Impulsen für eine nachhaltige, gerechte und resiliente Gesundheitsversorgung im Zeitalter des Klimawandels.
