Abstract:

 The mosquitoes bear various deadly diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, Japanese encephalitis and the West Nile fever. They are responsible for millions of fatalities worldwide each year. Although synthetic insecticides are typically used to control a variety of vector-borne diseases, they have a number of disadvantages including effects on unintended species and negative impacts on the environment with the emergence of resistant vector kinds as a result of target site changes. With the least amount of environmental impact, phytochemicals, plant extracts are successful repellents, and larvicides. These plant-derived chemicals are substantially less expensive, environmentally friendlier, biodegradable, readily available, and non-toxic to untargeted organisms. They also display broad-spectrum resistance against a variety of mosquito species. Currently, plant extracts can improve their potency using green synthesized metal nano particles. This review clarifies the importance of new approaches for controlling mosquito larvae and the prospective future points to be studied.
