Abstract: Mosquito control approaches have evolved overtime dating back to pre-historic days when humans started to live in communities and groups. At the same time mosquitoes and vector borne diseases have also evolved and spread in different parts of the world. Climate change is definitely going to intensify the spread of vector borne diseases, especially in northern hemisphere. Experience has shown that outbreaks of diseases vectored by mosquitoes such as dengue, yellow fever, malaria, west nile virus, zika, chikungunya etc. can severely affect socio-economic status of affected regions. Therefore, quick and effective control of mosquito vectors is very important. There have been several shifts and improvements in mosquito control strategies and collaborations among public, private and non-profit organizations which played a vital role in managing vector borne diseases. Here we are presenting some of the mosquito management practices as they evolved over time and how manufacturer's pivoted their product research & development activities to find new and better solutions.
