Physician's Guide to Arthropods of Medical Importance, Third Edition

By Jerome Goddard

A 9-year-old boy suffers a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting. A seemingly healthy teen-aged girl suffers a nervous system disorder caused by Lyme disease. And a construction worker experiences symptoms of chills, fever and sweating usually associated with malaria. Even in the most industrialized nations, the health problems caused by common insects such as bees, ticks and mosquitoes pose a serious threat, making quick and accurate diagnosis and treatment imperative. Physician's Guide to Arthropods of Medical Importance, Third Edition is the ultimate resource for identifying arthropods - including varieties of insects, spiders, mites, ticks, and scorpions - and their harmful effects on human health.
