Covering all major arthropods of medical importance worldwide, this award-winning resource has established itself as a standard reference for almost 25 years. With the globilization of commerce and the world becoming more intimately connected through the everyday ease of travel, unknown arthropod species are being increasingly encountered. This means access to up-to-date, authoritative information in medical entomology has never been more important. Now in its seventh edition, this book maintains its well-acclaimed status as the ultimate easy-to-use guide to identify disease-carrying arthropods, the common signs and symptoms of vector-borne diseases, and the current recommended procedures for treatment.
Illustrated throughout with detailed color images to aid identification, TheGoddard Guide to Arthropods of Medical Importance, Seventh Edition will remain an essential guide for physicians, public health officials, and pest control professionals.

Gail M. Moraru is currently an instructor of biology at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, Oregon. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in biological science from Cornell University and her Ph.D. in Veterinary Medical Science from Mississippi State University where she studied the natural history of a novel spotted fever rickettsiosis. Subsequently, she conducted research as a post-doctoral fellow at Haifa University in Israel, looking at how natural and anthropogenic disturbances impact mosquito populations and other aquatic communities. Dr. Moraru’s second post-doctoral position was at Mississippi State University where she investigated rickettsial interference phenomena in ticks. Before coming to Linn-Benton Community College, she worked as a Senior Extension Research Associate at Mississippi State University studying Zika virus vectors throughout the state.
Dr. Moraru won the Couvillion endowed graduate scholarship (parasitology), has team-taught veterinary parasitology, wildlife diseases, and several different biology and microbiology classes, and has authored or coauthored over 15 scientific publications. She is a member of the Entomological Society of America, the Southeastern Society of Parasitologists, Mississippi Entomological Association, and the Mississippi Mosquito and Vector Control Association. Her main research interests are disease ecology and parasitology. Dr. Moraru is the daughter of Jewish Romanian immigrants and grew up with her sister in California. She currently resides in Corvallis, OR with her husband and five animals.
Jerome Goddard II is currently a professor of mathematics at Auburn University Montgomery (AUM), located in Montgomery, Alabama. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science, and then a Master of Science in Mathematics (both) from Mississippi College in Clinton, MS.
