Unlocking the Potential of Microorganisms for Controlling Mosquito Populations and Reducing Vector Competence

Abstract

Javier Garcia

Mosquito-borne diseases represent a considerable public health burden worldwide, impacting millions of individuals annually. While traditional
methods like insecticides and physical barriers have shown efficacy in controlling mosquito populations, they often come with environmental and
health drawbacks. In recent times, there has been a surge in interest regarding biotechnological solutions, particularly harnessing the capabilities
of microorganisms, to tackle this challenge. This article delves into the biotechnological potential of microorganisms in controlling mosquito
populations and diminishing vector competence, thus playing a pivotal role in the prevention and management of mosquito-borne diseases.
