Article Synopsis
- Mosquitoes are major carriers of deadly diseases like malaria and Zika, prompting various control methods(chemical, biological, mechanical, and pharmaceutical) to reduce their transmission.
- Many of these control strategies are challenged by the rapid spread of invasive mosquito species, their resistance to treatments, and new virus outbreaks, highlighting the need for innovative solutions.
- One promising approach involves using nanobiotechnology, specifically creating eco-friendly nanoparticles from plant extracts, which show effectiveness in combating mosquito species without relying on harmful chemicals.
