Over 40% of the world's population is under danger from mosquito transmitted diseases, which are a growing global health challenge. Since 2000, malaria control has made significant progress, but of late it has slowed down. Aedes-borne arbovirus risk is also rising quickly due to the remarkable expansion of the dengue and chikungunya viruses, yellow fever outbreaks, and the Zika virus pandemic. To counteract this issues people used many vector control measures. Synthetic pesticides play a significant role in mosquito larval and adult control strategies, although their deployment is hampered by the development of resistance. As an alternative, various biological measures are being used including bacterial bio pesticides. They are extremely effective at controlling larvae due to their lack of resistance development and environmental friendliness. In this present review various biological control measures used for mosquito control are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
