European Mosquito Bulletin Journal of the European Mosquito Control Association

Information for contributors

The European Mosquito Bulletin 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. From Issue 23, EMB will cease to be a distributed paper journal and all papers submitted to EMB will be published directly on the web. Hard copies will go only to selected libraries to satisfy the conditions of the ICZN. All papers (including all past issues) will be available for downloading from the EMB website as .pdf files.

All articles and letters should be written with the text and any tables in Word and graphs in Excel.

The following notes are for additional guidance:
