Abstract

Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) have a long evolutionary history as they are thriving on earth from the Cretaceous as per the amber dating. They are also of utmost importance to disciplines like epidemiology, as they are responsible for various diseases, including dengue, chikungunya, malaria, filariasis, zika and yellow fever. This creates an immense need for the proper identification of various known species and their breeding grounds for restricting the spread of diseases caused by them. To accomplish the vector management strategy, the SEM technique is recruited as the eggs of mosquitoes can be utilized for various studies and inclusive of species identification. This article compiles the work in this direction from the year 1991 to 2020.
