Abstract
Mosquito-borne diseases pose significant health risks to humans and animals worldwide. Traditional methods of mosquito control often rely heavily on chemical pesticides, which not only harm the environment but also lead to the development of pesticide-resistant mosquito populations. In response to these challenges, there has been a growing interest in exploring eco-friendly approaches to mosquito control. This review paper aims to examine various green strategies for combating mosquitoes, focusing on their effectiveness, environmental impact, and feasibility for large-scale implementation and discuss methods such as biological control using natural predators and pathogens, habitat modification, utilization of botanical repellents, genetic manipulation of mosquito populations, and community-based interferences. Additionally, highlight the importance of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that combine multiple tactics for sustainable mosquito control. By exploring these alternative methods, this review provides insights into promoting environmentally responsible practices while effectively managing mosquito populations and reducing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
