On mosquito larvae, the major larval habitats were anthropogenic, resulting from human behavior. According to the Journal of Vector Ecology (2012 p37) stated that “The management of insecticide resistance among malaria vectors needs urgent attention if insecticide-treated materials can continue to be used for malaria control.”
Metarhizium anisopliae, a fungal pathogen of terrestrial arthropods, kills the aquatic larvae ofAedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and yellow fever. According to the College of Science (2013 p1) noted that “when larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus broke the water tension with their perispiracular valves for air intake, floating conidia of M. anisopliaeadhered to the inside surface of the valves, germinated and invaded the siphon tip tissue, then extended into and blocked the trachea resulting in suffocation and death.”
The Society for Vector Ecology stated that “Mosquitoes is the name applied to a small gnat-liked fly that has a long piercing beak (proboscis) and many fine scales attached to the veins of its wings. Nearly 2,500 species of mosquitoes have been described, including about 200 species in the United States. Mosquitoes often occur in vast numbers. They are found almost everywhere except open sea, at the poles, and in very dry deserts. They do not normally live at elevations above 12, 000 feet (3650 meters).”
Mosquitoes are more dangerous to the health of man than any other group of insects. They carry terrible diseases such as malaria and dengue. Malaria is transmitted only by anopheline mosquitoes. Dengue frequently transmitted by aedes aegypti and a. albopictus. The Journal of Arachnology (1998).
