Reviews / Votes
This book is a very carefully and perfectly researched monograph on European musquitoes. It should be in libraries and institutions working on entomology and of public health laboratories. It is necessary to congratulate the authors on preparing such an oustanding monograph, which undoubtly will be the foundation for studies on this medically important insect group for many years.
