Abstract
Mosquito-borne diseases remain among the most persistent global health challenges, causing extensive morbidity and mortality in tropical and subtropical regions. The intensifying effects of urbanization, climate change, and insecticide resistance have complicated conventional control efforts, necessitating the adoption of more integrated, sustainable, and technology-driven management approaches. This mini-review summarizes current advances in mosquito management, focusing on integrated vector management (IVM), biological and genetic control methods, environmental modification, and digital surveillance innovations. Recent progress in Wolbachia-based biocontrol, sterile insect techniques (SIT), and predictive GIS- and AI-driven monitoring systems has significantly improved the precision and sustainability of vector suppression programs. Despite these advances, challenges persist due to inconsistent field implementation, resource limitations, and the ecological adaptability of key vector species such as Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae. Strengthening community participation, improving resistance monitoring, and integrating novel technologies with existing control frameworks are essential for achieving long-term vector suppression and disease reduction.
