Mosquito research

Mosquito research involves studying these insects to understand their biology, behavior, and how they spread diseases such as malaria, dengue, and Zika. Scientists explore ways to control mosquito populations through methods like insecticides, genetic modification, and habitat management. The goal is to reduce disease transmission and minimize the impact of mosquitoes on public health. Advances include developing mosquito vaccines, genetically engineered mosquitoes that cannot carry diseases, and innovative traps. This research is critical for protecting communities and improving health outcomes worldwide, especially in regions heavily affected by mosquito-borne illnesses.
