Equipment for vector control (3rd edition)

An illustrated guide to the technical design, operation, calibration, performance, safe use, maintenance, and testing of virtually all equipment - from hand-operated sprayers to fixed-wing aircraft - currently used for the chemical control of vectors.

Now in its third edition, the book has been updated to reflect new thinking about the use of pesticides as well as to incorporate several major advances in equipment design.

Revisions also respond to the need for practical advice, based on the actual use of equipment in the field, that can help purchasing agencies select appropriate equipment.

Throughout the book, numerous photographs, diagrams, and line drawings are used to promote understanding of both the technical features of equipment and the impact that these features can have on the efficient control of vectors.
