Alternative Mosquito Control Methods
As mosquitoes can transmit a number of diseases such as dengue fever, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever etc., efforts have been made to control them. Control measures could be aimed at different stages of the insect in its life cycle. The measures can be classified as biological, environmental (physical) and chemical control. Integrated mosquito management approach should be adopted ...
متن کاملRNA Interference for Mosquito and Mosquito-Borne Disease Control
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to silence endogenous mosquito and mosquito-borne pathogen genes in vivo. As the number of studies utilizing RNAi in basic research grows, so too does the arsenal of physiological targets that can be developed into products that interrupt mosquito life cycles and behaviors and, thereby, relieve the burden of mosquitoes on human health and well-being. A...
متن کاملMosquito Behaviour and Disease Control
Mosquitoes vector many important disease pathogens. Controls of mosquito-borne diseases often involve lowering the contact rate between human and vector, and killing the vector. For instance, long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) act on both of these levels. Unfortunately, these are at best short-term solutions as mosquitoes are known to exhibit resistance to these interventions. Physiological...
متن کاملMosquito control by larvivorous fish.
There is growing of the effects of insecticide used controlling the vectors of human diseases. Manipulating or introducing an auto-reproducing predator into the ecosystem may provide sustained biological control of pest populations. The selection of a biological agent should be based on its self-replicating capacity, preference for the target pest population in the presence of alternate natural...
متن کاملMosquito behavior and vector control.
Effective indoor residual spraying against malaria vectors depends on whether mosquitoes rest indoors (i.e., endophilic behavior). This varies among species and is affected by insecticidal irritancy. Exophilic behavior has evolved in certain populations exposed to prolonged spraying programs. Optimum effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets presumably depends on vectors biting at hours when mo...
