Summary

This important volume gives the reader a scientific perspective in a historical context, on the origin, growth, and contributions of the VBL. Since its founding, the VBL has played an important role in shaping the field of vector biology into what it is today and has served as the "mecca" of vector biologists throughout the world. Four Decades of Vector Biology at the University of Notre Dame: A Scientific Perspective is a tribute to the illustrious scholars produced at Notre Dame's VBL, who currently occupy highly visible leadership roles in both academia and government institutions around the globe.
