Dear K. Damodara Chari

Entomopathogenic fungi can be used for the biological control of adult mosquitoes (eg. Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana). It has also been observed that spiders are good mosquito hunters. On the other hand, for the biological control of mosquito larvae, bacteria like Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, larvivorous fish (eg Gambusia spp., Poecilia spp., and Tilapia spp), and microcrustaceans like copepods are used.

Dear Dr. K. Damodara Chari

Mosquitoes pose serious threat to public health as vectors of diseases like malaria, lymphatic filariasis, dengue fever, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever, West Nile fever, Rift Valley fever and Murray Valley encephalitis. Biological control methods are very important in protecting the public from mosquitoes. Gambusia affinis (mosquitofish) is the most effective biocontrol agent which preys on mosquito larvae allowing to keep the mosquito population under control. Besides, Gambusia affinis other larvivorous fishes like Poecilia reticulata, Gasterosteus aculeatus and Oreochromis niloticus are also effective as biological control agents of mosquitoes. Entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiane and Metarhizium anisopliae have the potential to kill the adult mosquitoes. Spores of bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis interfere with digestive systems of mosquito larvae.

Thank you sir

Control of mosquitoes can be performed only controlling its multiplication (breeding). It can be achieved by

1. Control of breeding place (stagnant water).

2. Keeping biological balance by increase of population of Frogs, Mosquito eating bats, some larva eater water snakes, larva eater fishes.

3. Increased health consciousness of people.

There are many research papers on other types of control (like genetically modified male mosquito to produce sterile progeny etc.) which are far away from practical use.

Thanks.

Cut a lime in half. Insert 3-4 cloves and you will keep mosquitoes away

heat some water and essential oils like lemon eucalyptus, lavender or catnip. The generated heat will let the oil evaporate into air and this will help repelling mosquitoes upto a radius of 2-3 meter.

if you search Talbalaghi+ ECDC *Chikungunya you will see this sentence stated by me:

The main principle of mosquito research can be summarised in one question: ‘Where are the mosquitoes coming

from?’ — and not: ‘Where are they are migrating to?’.

biocontrol is a simple , sustainable and environmental friendly process. it is operated by bacteria, viruses, larvivorou fishes, and another organisms

Yes, it is very important all this information that everyone comments.

Another species of mosquito that can be used as a biological control for larvae is Toxorhynchites spp.

Many essential oils of some plants have larvicidal and repellent effects for some mosquito species, such as Eucalyptus and Allium macrostemon. This has a lot of potential for research and practical uses in the field.
