Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
191635) and transferred two technologies to the Health Department, Tamil Nadu in 2010 1nd 2014, respectively. He is credited with the origin of science of medical arthropodology in India, and also the series of annual Medical Arthropodology conferences, commencing 2007. He has provided expert guidance for preparing the OECD?s (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) Consensus Document on the dengue/yellow fever vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti Linn. in 2018.
MoreLong description:
This book comprehensively reviews the disease dynamics, distribution, surveillance, epidemiology, diagnosis, control strategies, and management of the desert malaria. It highlights the potential risks of unstable but often exacerbated malaria conflagration as epidemics in the middle of duned desert, a desert oasis, and desert-fringe regions. Further, it reveals the factors inveigled into desert environments due to extensive anthropogenic activities such as canalized irrigation projects, high-yielding new agriculture practices, human concentration, and increased trade. It addresses the impact of irrigation on the malarial dynamics and its coupling to the climate forcing. The book also offers a model for desert transformation into malaria heaven under the changed climatic conditions including high rainfall, humidity, and depletion in temperature. Lastly, it offers insight into malaria epidemiology and disease control in the desert?s arid environments. This book is an essential resource for medical entomologists, parasitologists, epidemiologists, and public health researchers.
