چکیده
Mosquitoes are the principal vectors of malaria and other vector borne diseases and contribute to major disease burden in India. Disease transmission can be interrupted by controlling the vectors using various methods. However, the extensive and unbalanced use of chemical insecticides have created problems like enhancing resistance of mosquito population to synthetic insecticides, pollution of environment and adverse effects on the non-target flora and fauna inhabiting the same aquatic habitat. These steadily growing problems, demand an intensive search for new products that are environmentally safe, targetspecific and degradable.
