Dengue, chikungunya, japanese encephalitis, filaria, yellow fever and malaria are mosquito borne diseases. Some of the disease are worst and harder than Cancer and AIDS. Many time no option is left for cure hence we realize, ‘Prevention is better than cure’. In fact only prevention is left in our hand. Therefore, in the present text dengue, chikungunya, japanese encephalitis, filaria, yellow fever, enquine diseases and malaria have been emphasized with respect to historical account, distribution, pathogenesis, vectors, clinical symptoms, diagnosis and confirmatory tests, treatment, recent advances and vector control measures. This is unique attempt for information on all mosquito borne diseases of the world. Hence, we feel that the book will be stimulatory and useful guide to medical practitioners, malarialogist, entomologists, students, teachers, scientists and eminent workers in the field of healthcare and entomology.
