Insect Resistance Management_An important contribution to Entomological research
How I am medical veterinary and work with with the integrated management of pests directed to livestock importance of pests I miss publications that deal with the subject and present the history and evolution of IPM directed to arthropod parasites of animals and although the book only display a chapter on this subject, I consider its contribution important and opens the opportunity for a more complete approach in an upcoming issue. The other chapters interested me very much and will help in the execution of my activities as a researcher in Animal Health with emphasis on the control of parasitic arthropods in animal production systems.
