Health is one of the mayor concerns globally. While there are many government policies available, they mostly focus on treatment, with very few actual investments on prevention policies. In the other hand, may of the public health problems without solution because of varied ecology and biodiversity factors.
The vector-borne diseases cause a considerable burden for human health in tropical and subtropical regions, and a lot of morbidity and mortality in the population. There are diseases as Malaria, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever and including hepatitis B that cn cause the death of millions of people each year. Traditional strategies aimed at tackling those diseases have often focused on reducing human-mosquito contact with bed nets and the suppression of vector populations, principally through the use of insecticides. However, the rapid appearance of insecticide resistance in vector species is hampering the eradication of this devastating disease, and efforts aimed at developing novel and more effective mosquitoes control strategies are intensifying.
