About this book

Language: French

Malaria, yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, Nile Valley fever, filariasis ... All these diseases are often fatal, and are transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. They take advantage of the tremendous development of transport and increasingly rapid mobility of people to spread throughout the world. Today, cities have become true refuges for mosquitoes, while in the countryside, the combined use of fertilizers and pesticides favors – paradoxically – their proliferation.

By exploring the ancestral relationship of man and mosquito, and by synthesizing research conducted in the laboratory and in the field, this book reveals the causes of the inexorable proliferation of this insect and presents the methods by which man has been fighting mosquitoes for several centuries. Faced with a threat that is greater than ever, the author also offers innovative strategies, emphasizing the urgency of a concerted policy in the fields of public health and agriculture.

Summary in French:
Paludisme, fièvre jaune, dengue, chikungunya, fièvre de la Vallée du Nil, filariose… Toutes ces maladies, souvent mortelles, sont transmises à l’homme par les moustiques. Ces derniers profitent du formidable développement des transports et de la mobilité toujours plus rapide des populations pour se propager sur la planète. Aujourd’hui, les villes sont devenues de véritables refuges à moustiques tandis que, dans les campagnes, l’usage combiné des engrais et des pesticides favorise – paradoxalement – leur prolifération.

À travers l’histoire des relations ancestrales de l’homme et du moustique et grâce à la synthèse de travaux de recherche réalisés en laboratoire et sur le terrain, cet ouvrage révèle les causes de l’inexorable pullulation de cet insecte et présente les méthodes de lutte que l’homme lui oppose depuis déjà plusieurs siècles. Face à cette menace plus que jamais présente, l’auteur propose aussi des stratégies innovantes, en insistant sur l’urgence d’une politique concertée dans les domaines de la santé publique et de l’agriculture.
