Abstract
Mosquitoes represent the major vectors involved in the spread of deadly diseases like Malaria, Lymphatic filariasis,Chikungunyaand arboviruses like dengue virus and Zika virus. These diseases have emerged with the rise of urbanization and the use of chemical insecticides around the world. The insecticides such as DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), organophosphates, carbamates, and organochlorineshave caused resistance in mosquitoes against typical chemical control methodsthrough excessive use over the years. Different biological control methods aresustainable, eco-friendly and target major diseases spreading mosquito’s species. This review outlines major biological control methods being used ortested in different parts of the world. Some of these are the use of plant extract, Wolbachiaspp, larvivorous fishes, insecticidal bacterial spp, predator mosquitoes and predator copepods.Limitations associated with each method are also discussed.All these methods will givea better understanding of developing an integrated approach for effective mosquitoes control that will reduce dependency on insecticide based approaches.

Summary
There are many commercially applicable microorganism fatal and pandemic diseases which are have led to recent advancements in the fields associated with various insects and pests of agriculture, food and dairy and among which the mosquitoes are playing an in the human health sector. Many important role in the transmission of various commercially important microbial species diseases. Aedes albopictus and Anopheles species have yield of economically important crops by been reported as a transmission source of using the insecticidal and pesticidal activity various diseases like Dengue Fever, Yellow of certain microbial species without affecting. Filariasis, Malaria and West Nile virus.it has microbes have proved their been reported that around 40% of the whole significance in agriculture field by increasing world’s population is at risk of getting the crop yield of disease susceptible crops their
