The European Mosquito Bulletin, the official journal of the European Mosquito Control Association, has been established since 1998 and is intended to provide a forum for information on European mosquitoes and work related to the European species. Articles dealing with aspects of the biology, ecology, identification, taxonomy, distribution, disease relations and control of European mosquitoes will be considered for publication, following peer review. All published EMB articles from 1998 to the present date are available for free downloading as PDF files from this site.

Welcome to the European Mosquito Bulletin.

From Issue 23, EMB became an e-journal. This facilitates quick publication of key papers, through the EMB website. All current and archive EMB papers are available as .pdf files for direct download. The EMB will be published as a paper copy bi-annually and distributed to five key institutions worldwide, to satisfy the conditions of the International Code of Zoological Nomeclature.

News

Dr Yvonne Linton will continue to maintain the EMB website from the Natural History Museum. Please email new manuscripts directly to Keith in the future (snow373@btinternet.com).
