A comprehensive review on control strategy of Mosquito-Borne Disease (MBD)

Abstract
Mosquitoes are considered the most fatal and lethal organisms in the
world, causing millions of deaths annually around the world. Mosquitoes
transmit many types of disease-causing pathogens, such as malaria, dengue, Zika
virus, and many more caused the deaths of millions of people. Many types of
harmful diseases are spread by mosquitoes; the important ones are Dengue Fever,
Malaria, Lymphatic filariasis, Yellow Fever, West Nile Virus, Rift Valley
Fever, Chikungunya, Japanese Encephalitis, and some others. MBDs are
transmitted in many ways, along with a wide selection of favourable hosts in
the form of humans, cattle, and rodents. MBDs are spreading a global threat with
many hazardous infections among people, so their control for the elimination of
major burden of MBDs from public health is a must. The number of mosquito
species has been increasing currently due to climate change and deforestation,
and many domestic activities lead to habitat and sites for mosquito breeding. The
current scenario highlights the need to reduce the breeding sites of these
mosquito vectors through different controlling methods. Many types of
controlling approaches are available for the elimination of MBDs, such as
chemical, biological control, source reduction, public health awareness, etc.
The current study tries to highlight the major common burden of MBDs and focus
on the MBDs controlling strategy, including all maximum approaches to control
the mosquito fauna.
