Polluted water bodies: A Breeding Ground for Culicine Mosquito
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Water pollution is a major problem because it encourages the growth of Culicine mosquitoes, which spread illnesses including dengue, chikungunya, and filariasis. Mosquitoes like these flourish in dirty, standing water, which is common in both rural and urban regions with poor drainage and sanitation. Industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and inappropriate waste disposal are some of the causes that contribute to water pollution, which in turn encourages the reproduction of Culicine mosquitoes. This link is examined in this review study. In order to address both water contamination and mosquito-borne illnesses, this analysis stresses the need of community engagement, stronger environmental regulations, and sustainable urban development. To address this pressing public health issue, it suggests that academics and policymakers work together to enhance water quality and health outcomes.
