Mosquitopia: The Place of Pests in a Healthy World

Natural scientists, social scientists and humanists to assess if (or how) we may begin to coexist harmoniously with the mosquito.

Chapters assess polarizing arguments for conserving and preserving mosquitoes, as well as for controlling and killing them, elaborating on possible consequences of both strategies.

This book provides informed answers to the dual question: could we eliminate mosquitoes, and should we? Offering insights spanning the technical to the philosophical, this is the ‘go to’ book for exploring humanity’s many relationships with the mosquito-which becomes a journey to finding better ways to inhabit the natural world.
