Mosquitoes Control Strategies to Reduce the Impact of Vector-borne Diseases

 Insects, including mosquitoes, employ different strategies for survival and reproduction. They use physical properties like contact angles and surface tension for water repellency, surface adhesion, locomotion on various terrains, feeding, and defense. Surface tension ensures mosquito survival during developmental stages in aquatic environments. The symbiotic relationship between physics and mosquito biology, which has led to the development of intricate mechanisms, has to be explored. Ongoing research promises innovative strategies for countering these disease vectors.
