Arthropods and venomous animals of medical importance in Mexico

This book deals with the most relevant aspects of arthropods and poisonous animals existing in the Mexican Republic. Agents that, due to their close relationship with man since ancient times, have caused important damages to health, plagues to crops, and have been feared and venerated. To date, they continue to be a reason not only for phobias but also for their stings and bites, which generate the main reasons for consultation.
