| Summary: | In spite of significant control of Malaria, vector control measures have been facing setbacks. The dependence on chemical insecticides and development of vector resistance against them is an important factor. Problems have been compounded by re-emergence of other mosquito borne diseases. With the development of resistance to chemical insecticides and possible health impacts of its widespread use, some innovative means of mosquito control has become the need of the hour. The present paper presents an innovative concept for mosquito control based on mosquito bionomics. |
