Prior research on these insects often consisted of vague, unspecific descriptions that classified many different mosquitoes under a single umbrella term. This caused great difficulty for researchers, medical practitioners, and scientists alike trying to properly identify and discuss specific mosquito species and their behaviors. To address this prevailing issue, this book categorizes the Culicidae into distinct families based predominantly on the scale structure of each species. It also highlights how this method of classification can aid in the study of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes.
