About the Institute

World Mosquito Day, observed annually on 20 August, is a

commemoration of British doctor Sir Ronald Ross's discovery in 1897

that female mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans.Mosquitoes are considered as one of the most dangerous creatures

on the planet because of their ability to spread deadly diseases. They

are capable of transmitting diseases such as yellow fever, dengue

fever, filariasis, encephalitis, but malaria is the most serious; thus

causing nuisance and sufferings to the human society. Water,

vegetation and human settlements are the prime requirements for

breeding and sustenance of mosquitoes.

Mosquito control is a vital public-health practice throughout the world

and especially in the tropics because mosquitoes spread many

diseases, such as malaria and the dengue.

Mosquito-control operations are targeted against three different

problems:

Nuisance mosquitoes bother people around homes or in parks and

recreational areas;Economically important mosquitoes reduce real estate values,

adversely affect tourism and related business interests, or negatively

impact livestock or poultry production;Public health is the focus when mosquitoes are vectors, or

transmitter of infectious disease.
