Notes and records are provided for mosquitoes collected in Egypt west of the Gulf of Suez during field studies conducted in 1983. Biological data and species associations are presented for 175 separate collections. Seventeen species were collected, including a new country record and an undescribed species. Topotypic material was collected for five nominal species and the type series of three Culex species described from Egypt were located in respositories in Cairo. This report summarizes the data obtained during mosquito field studies conducted in Egypt between March 15 and May 21, 1983. These studies were part of a long-term collaborative arrangement between Ain Shams University, Research and Training Center on Vectors of Diseases in Cairo, the Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 in Cairo, and the Walter Reed Biosystematics Unit located at the Museum Support Center, Smithsonian Institution, in Suitland, Maryland.

Israel is situated at the crossroad of Europe, Africa and Asia. The mosquito species found in the region reflect that fact and species known from all three continents have been recorded in Israel. The first part of the book comprises illustrated keys to adults and larvae of all 46 species which have been recorded in Israel/Palestine at some time. The second part has ecological notes on each of these species and include habitat data and details of historical sampling sites, as well as present day distribution patterns. Early mosquito records, especially of Anopheles species, from the first part of the 20th century were essential in the efforts to control malaria. This reflects the importance of sampling and recording of mosquito species. This guide is intended to help all those interested in identifying mosquitoes from this area, including persons without specialized knowledge. Several colour photographs of adult mosquitoes are included, as well as coloured distribution maps for 38 of the 46 species. There are also quick identification notes for adults and larvae of the 35 more common mosquito species.

This book explores the links among ecology, disease, and international politics in the context of the Greater Caribbean - the landscapes lying between Surinam and the Chesapeake - in the seventeenth through early twentieth centuries. Ecological changes made these landscapes especially suitable for the vector mosquitoes of yellow fever and malaria, and these diseases wrought systematic havoc among armies and would-be settlers. Because yellow fever confers immunity on survivors of the disease, and because malaria confers resistance, these diseases played partisan roles in the struggles for empire and revolution, attacking some populations more severely than others. In particular, yellow fever and malaria attacked newcomers to the region, which helped keep the Spanish Empire Spanish in the face of predatory rivals in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In the late eighteenth and through the nineteenth century, these diseases helped revolutions to succeed by decimating forces sent out from Europe to prevent them.
