Green Nanoparticles for Mosquito Control [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Here, we have used the green method for synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles. In the present study the silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by using the aqueous bark extract of Indian spice dalchini (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) (C. zyelanicumorC. verumJ. Presl).

Trojan mosquitoes control dengue [PDF]
Communications Medicine, 2021 Dengue virus is transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and causes the disease known as dengue. In a trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Utarini and colleagues report that release of wolbachia-infected A. aegypti populations in a dengue endemic area reduces the number of symptomatic cases and of hospitalisations.

Metallic copper spray – a new control technique to combat invasive container-inhabiting mosquitoes
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background The control of container-inhabiting mosquitoes is mainly based on environmental management with special emphasis on community participation e.g. source reduction by elimination or modification of water bodies.

Mosquito Behaviour and Disease Control [PDF]
Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, 2014 Mosquito control and disease management Mosquitoes vector many important disease pathogens. Controls of mosquito-borne diseases often involve lowering the contact rate between human and vector, and killing the vector. For instance, long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) act on both of these levels.

Using spatial genetics to quantify mosquito dispersal for control programs
BMC Biology, 2020 Background Hundreds of millions of people get a mosquito-borne disease every year and nearly one million die. Transmission of these infections is primarily tackled through the control of mosquito vectors. The accurate quantification of mosquito dispersal

RNA Interference for Mosquito and Mosquito-Borne Disease Control [PDF]
Insects, 2017 RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to silence endogenous mosquito and mosquito-borne pathogen genes in vivo. As the number of studies utilizing RNAi in basic research grows, so too does the arsenal of physiological targets that can be developed into products that interrupt mosquito life cycles and behaviors and, thereby, relieve the burden of ...
