The review highlights how certain mosquito larvae can be effective biological control agents, consuming hundreds of other mosquito larvae and showing preferences for larger prey and denser populations.*
-
While these predators can significantly lower mosquito populations and potentially affect their behavior and lifespan, there are limitations in their effectiveness that need more research, especially across different environments and developmental stages.*
-
Future studies should focus on improving breeding and release methods, exploring combinations with other control strategies, and considering environmental influences to enhance the use of these predators in mosquito control efforts.*
