Arthropod Vector: Controller of Disease Transmission, Volume 1: Vector Microbiome and Innate Immunity of Arthropods

Overview:
A scientific volume on the microbiome and innate immune systems of arthropod vectors. It examines how symbiotic microbes and vector immunity influence the acquisition and transmission of pathogens. Ticks, mosquitoes and other vectors of veterinary and medical importance are covered. Microbiome-based strategies such as Wolbachia for vector control are discussed.

Key Topics Covered:

• Vector microbiome composition
• Symbiont–pathogen interactions
• Innate immune pathways in arthropods
• Vector competence
• Wolbachia and paratransgenesis
• Novel vector control strategies

Target Audience:
Vector Biologists, Parasitologists, Researchers
