Publisher: Springer Nature
Release Date: 2022-01-01
This book comprehensively covers the latest development in developing and deploying the genetically modified vectors, particularly Anopheles and Aedes mosquitoes responsible for transmitting malaria parasites and dengue viruses, the most deadly and/or debilitating among all the vector-borne diseases. It is considered timely and commensurate to bring about a book dealing with the various ecological, biological and social as well as regulatory aspects for the deployment of genetically modified vectors in special context with the biosafety of humans, his associates, and the environment. Written by an array of specialists and experts in various subjects of genetically modified organisms, this book centrally addresses the (i) basic principles of the genetic manipulation of vectors and they are potential impact on human and the environment, (ii) ecological, biological, ethical, legal and social implications of the use of genetically modified vectors, (iii) identification of potential hazards; assessment and management of risks for human and environment; risk/benefit analysis, (iv) principles and practices for the assessment and management of biosecurity and biosafety in laboratories (and in the field), (v) guiding principles for creation and management of institutional or national biosafety review boards and ethics review committees, and (vi) development and application of a biosafety regulatory framework and its related legal principles at national levels for securing the development and use of vector control methods based on genetic modification strategies. This publication will be useful to researchers, scientists, and professionals engaged in academic and research institutions, government or non-government, as well as students in universities and medical colleges.

Mosquitoes of India
This is an up-to-date and comprehensive handbook that presents a wealth of information on the different aspects of one of the largest dipterous family, Culicidae (mosquitoes). India shares more than 10% of the global mosquito fauna and some of the deadliest mosquito species occur in the country, implying that globally, India has always been in the forefront of research and control of such deadly and/or debilitating diseases as malaria, lymphatic filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile Virus, etc. This book illustrates updated information, including chemical, biological, herbal, and genetical, on the control of vectors, and showcases mosquito preponderance in the neighbouring countries. The book additionally deals with the biosafety principles in theory and practice, use of emerging science of artificial intelligence in mosquito identity and control, and, of course, consideration of mosquitoes in human psyche. This authoritative account is a crucial reference source for mosquito-borne disease control and prevention. This book is meant for researchers, university students, medical entomologists, parasitologists, and public health professionals.
