About this product
Product Information
Invasive alien plants and animals are known for their disruption of ecosystems and threat to biodiversity. This book highlights their major impact on human health. This includes not only direct effects through contact with the species via bites, wounds and disease, but also indirect effects caused by changes induced in ecosystems by invasive species, such as more water hyacinth increasing mosquito levels and thereby the potential for malaria. Covering a wide range of case studies from different taxa (animals and plants), and giving an overview of the diverse impacts of invasive species on health in developed and developing countries, the book is a significant contribution that will help in prioritizing approaches to controlling invasive species and mitigating their health effects. It covers invasive plants, marine species, spiders and other arachnids, ticks and dust mites, insects, mosquitos and other diptera, freshwater species (invertebrates and fishes), amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals. Key Features Collects together the major health impacts for the first time Covers animal and plant invasive species Examines issues in developed and developing countries The broad spectrum of the analyzed case studies will ensure the appeal of the book to a wide public, including researchers of biological invasions, doctors, policy-makers and managers, and students of invasive species in ecology, animal and plant biology and public health medicine.

Reviews
This well-referenced book highlights the impact of invasive non-native animals and plants on human health and considers the ways in which different species threaten biodiversity and disrupt ecosystems. Chapter contributors consider both direct effects to human health due to bites, wounds, and disease and indirect effects resulting from changes in ecosystems and the potential socioeconomic impacts caused by invasive species. Case studies are used to illustrate key concepts and the contributors cover a wide range of different animal (terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates and in-vertebrates) and plant species. The editors and contributors have a wide range of expertise in the topics covered and provide a broad global perspective. This book will be of interest to students, academics, and policy makers working in the field of biosecurity, health, and biological conservation.
