5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent textbook!
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2014
Verified Purchase
This textbook is very easy to read and understand. It is laid out in manner that makes sense and is easy to follow along with. The images go well with the text. My one caution, however, is that you don't try to use solely this book for insect morphology. It discusses mouthparts and other details related to disease/parasite infection and transmission, and it does not explain the morphological differences between insect species within the same family or order. I would recommend this text to any veterinary or medical student!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book!

As a Pre-Vet student I use this book quite a bit for my Livestock Entomology class. The pictures are pretty awsome! I really think this is a good investment if your an entomology fan or in a class. I also like that the insect orders are broken into different chapters. I currently finished a lab on dog heartworm and this book has a chapter on mosquitoes which was very helpful to me! Overall a very good buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear Concise. Colour Images. Look inside to ensure it suits your needs
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2016

This is not very indepth it also does not discuss all species of mites which was what, I personally, was interested in. However it does give links to more information (further reading) on subject species.
It's well worth the discount price I obtained it for 'a score' delivered.
I was appreciative of the further reading links.
Photo's are very good & reading is interesting clear & concise.
I believe those studying veterinary medicine find the book very good... see other reviews & in Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book on entomology for an epidemiologist
Reviewed in India on October 24, 2015
Verified Purchase
I purchased this copy after returning a cheaper version of the same book. So first thing to say is that this is an original colour print of the book and not a cheap black and white xerox like copy. The book was delivered in time and in good condition.
The book deals with the subject of medical and veterinary epidemiology in an exhaustive manner. The book deals with the subject in a perspective that is useful for an epidemiologist and a clinician and probably a vet. There is exhaustive coverage of the subject from this perspective. The book does not give a 'How to identify the bug' kind of information. However this cannot be considered negative as the authors themselves did not intend to cover this aspect, but only to provide some identification and taxonomic information.
