Book review: Re-imagining vector control: A modern perspective on forgotten giants

Imagine, for a second, how pioneers in malaria and other vector-borne diseases would look at the current state of affairs in view of the stagnating progress in reducing the global impact of these diseases. In his book, Lluberas takes readers on a quick journey through history and reimagines how these forgotten gi-ants would adapt to the 21st-century battle against vector-borne diseases. The life and work of thirteen pioneers (several of them still alive) is highlighted and culminates in a synthesis that should guide or perhaps even re-shape current and future efforts to combat vector-borne diseases.
