Abstract

Vector mosquitoes are diseases transmitting malaria, filarial, dengue, and Japanese encephalitis are an enormous burden to public people worldwide. There is no proper vaccine for those diseases; even though malaria is significant, challenges are still waiting for successful management. Recently, fungi and fungi-derived products control mosquito larvae, pupae, and adults better than compared to plants or other microorganisms. The using fungi such as Aspergillus sp., Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Verticillium lecanii are more virulent for controlling mosquito vectors, Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi, Culex quinquefasciatus. The synthesis of silver, gold, zinc, and copper nanoparticles from those fungi has been getting good biological sources for significant reduction of mosquito larval and pupal populations. Fungal-based nanoparticles are highly effective and biorational insecticide for the control of vector populations. In this review, we discussed various sources of fungi that can be synthesized from different nanoparticles to control disease-transmitting mosquito vectors.
