Abstract
Vector-borne diseases have a great importance in the global health context. The biological dynamics of arthropod vector is sustained by the selection pressure from the environment. Vector control is thus a challenging approach to control the vectors through managing their dynamic physiological attributes within the changing environmental condition. Hence, the study and exploration of novel vector control methods are necessary in parallel to the sustained surveillance of mosquito vector behavior in the changing climate. In this context, nanobiotechnology can become an efficient approach for vector control, as it has the advantages of precise and specific utilization of technologies like nanoscience and polymer science that can affect specifically on vector physiology and facilitates the vector control. This work is an endeavor to explore different aspects of nano-biotechnological approaches for vector control using the nanoscience and polymer science.
