V. 1. "Cette histoire commence dans la nuit des temps. Un homme qui passe remarque un arbuste dont les branches se terminent par des flocons blancs. On peut imaginer qu'il approche la main. L'espèce humaine vient de faire connaissance avec la douceur du coton. Depuis des années,…
« Un jour, je me suis dit que je ne l'avais jamais remercié. Pourtant je lui devais mes lectures. Et que serais-je, qui serais-je sans lire et surtout sans avoir lu ? Pourtant, c'est sur son dos que chaque matin, depuis près de soixante années, je tente de faire avancer pas à pa…
Malaria in pregnancy has been a long-standing conundrum - why do women immune to the parasite after years of exposure suddenly become susceptible to infection during first pregnancies? Recent scientific breakthroughs have shed new light on interactions between the malaria parasi…
Mosquitoes are significant vectors that transmit various pathogens to humans and other mammals. Mosquitoes seem to be omnipresent and easily breed in climates favourable to them. Life cycle of the Aedes species of mosquitoes is similar to others of its genera. This book focuses …

Lots of insects suck blood, but one species above all others has a reputation, out of all proportion to its size: the mosquito. Due to the diseases they carry and inject, mosquitoes are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal. The most deadly of these diseases is…
