  Medical arthropodology is an incredibly exciting discipline. Representing more than 80% of the world’s species, the arthropod-based biomedicine is truly the mother of all sciences while integrating with all other branches of science, technology and innovation, on one hand, and constituting an integral part of public and veterinary health, bio-pharmacy and bioengineering sciences etc., on the other. The concept of integrated medical arthropodology is novel based on a first-time defined 3-dimensional fields of knowledge. This book aims to primarily deal with the dangerous vectors of diseases including those causing much vexation by their sting, bite and/or envenomation and injuries. They affect all strata of social groups and both sexes, yet perhaps it is the health of children and women which is most severely affected, both physically and mentally. Vector-borne diseases are particularly considered major public health problems. Worldwide these infections contribute nearly 17% of all illnesses. In developing nations, including India, these diseases are greatly responsible for retarding human an animal health, economy and the national intelligentsia! Secondarily, and innovatively, the book attempts to throw light on the beneficial aspects of life of arthropods such as bio-pharmacy, entomophagy, bioprospecting and vector control through transgenics etc. Lastly, and for the first time, the book discusses the infinite benefits derived from biology and behaviour of medically important arthropods for developing highly useful products, tools and technologies to improve human and animal health. Its authenticity and updated text will be duly referenced, and its applicability unparallelly integral to the present and future requirements of both the students and researchers in their higher research pursuits, career avenues as well as enterprising initiatives. The practicing physicians will find guidance with respect to treatment policies. Further, this is the only authoritative book ever written in India, and the third after one each in China and the USA, which provide a melange of knowledge from past, present and future!Key features of the book include:The book is a complete encyclopedia on arthropods of medical importance, together with emerging au fait alluding to bioengineering, pharmacological and nutritive novelties. The book brings up an updated information on all aspects of vectors and vector-borne diseases, their treatment and control, as well as other health hazards due to vector/pest bites and/or sting, envenomation etc. which are essential parts of syllabi at University/Medical College Graduate/post-graduate level and also fulfils requirements of higher research pursuits in medical entomology/arachnology etc., besides guidance to practicing physicians. Indian examples and references are a key attraction to connect with the largest scientific fraternity. The book offers a detailed explanation as to why arthropods, particularly, mosquitoes and house flies, cannot transmit HIV or nCoV-2. The book also describes in detail the forensic and military utility of medical arthropodpology. Proofs of evidence wrt arthropods’ enormous bioengineering, pharmacological, medicinal and nutritive novelties, among others, are put forth de novo that will help understand the medical significance of arthropods from both sides of the coins – a new concept in medical arthropodology. This also opens open gates to industrially enterprising the arthropods through bioprospecting, besides the budding researchers shall be au fait with the diverse and hugely ramified science in their career and vocational preparedness. The book is a truly encyclopaedic treatment of medical arthropodology, giving equal weightage to human- and animal related arthropod-induced infirmities and highlighting de novo, the unfathomable biomedical, industrial and nutritive values in order to secure a far better tomorrow to live in!
