  • Title: Prevention of arthropod-related disease.
    Author: Elston DM.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2004 Dec; 51(6):947-54. PubMed ID: 15583587.
    Abstract:
    Arthropods of medical importance include vespids, ticks, mosquitoes, mites, flies, and fleas. They spread illness as disease vectors, are associated with lethal allergic reactions, and produce potentially deadly toxins. Strategies for prevention of illness include avoidance, vector reduction programs, chemoprophylaxis, and repellents. Strategies must be tailored to regional risks.
