Nanobiotechnology: A New Window for Management of Mosquito Vectors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Molecular Identification of Mosquito Vectors and Their Management

Abstract

Mosquitoes are the vectors of life threatening diseases such as malaria, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, etc. These vector-borne disease transmissions can be interrupted by avoiding infected mosquitoes and human contact or by killing them during their different developmental stages of life cycle. Use of different chemical insecticides for adult control and larvicides for larval control is now showing diminishing effect due to the emergence of insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors. Nanobiotechnology intends to synthesize, improve, and utilize nanomaterials in the current field of biotechnology. Recent advances in this field of research to design and synthesize effective nanoparticles (NPs) of various shapes and sizes have led to the development of new mosquitocidal agents. In this chapter, we tried to present the application of different biologically synthesized nanoparticles having mosquitocidal activities. Graphene quantum dots are also reported to be potent candidates as larvicidal agent in mosquito vector control. Nanoemulsions formulated from different essential oils seem to be utilized for the management of mosquito vectors.
