Features: The prevention and control of harmful organisms are the main measures for disease control and an important component of improving the living environment of the people and promoting economic development. China is vast in territory and diverse in natural conditions. Most regions are rich in resources, not only suitable for human life and production but also for the habitation and reproduction of harmful organisms. Since ancient times, the rich land of China has been a "battlefield" where humans and harmful organisms coexist and compete. Chinese people have been using the burning of mugwort and other plants to drive away harmful insects for over a thousand years, and have accumulated many successful experiences in the prevention and control of harmful organisms. However, with the continuous improvement of the living standards and environmental quality of urban and rural residents in China, the task of preventing and controlling harmful organisms in more than 600 cities, over 2,000 counties, 60,000 towns, and 400 million households across the country, reducing diseases, and ensuring the health of residents, is extremely challenging. The compilers of this book are rigorous in their scholarship, experienced, and have a forward-looking perspective. The content is highly informative, instructive, and engaging.
