Mosquito by Richard Swift
This tiny insect causes more human suffering than any other organism - over one million people die from diseases borne by mosquitoes every year. But are scientists finally on the verge of a breakthrough in the fight against malaria? This volume explores how its 2,500 species have invaded not only bodies but culture too: every language acknowledges its fearsome reputation and pays a grudging respect to the tiny terror. As the Dalai Lama says, If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito'.'
