Biology, Surveillance and Control of Mosquito Vectors

Résumé fourni par la source

Mosquitos are important vectors for the transmission of infectious diseases in human and animals. Female mosquitos after mating feed on human blood or warm-blooded animals for eggs development. There are many parasites, viruses, bacteria that can be transmitted by insects, and mosquitos are the most predominant insects in the way of the transmission to the human beings. It provides basic concepts of entomology like the knowledge on morphology, taxonomy or systematic, bio-ecology, distribution, habitat preferences, that are good and important information for medical entomology to know the whole life cycle of mosquitos in order to control their uncontrolled population growth. Both seasonal and daily activity patterns of mosquito vectors are required as baseline knowledge to understand the transmission dynamics of vector-borne pathogens, and have been widely studied for many mosquito species throughout the world. The association between species of mosquitos can provide clue to an understanding their biology and their role in the transmission of pathogen.
