Abstract :

Over 80% of the world population is in jeopardy to a vector-borne diseases caused by mosquito. The mosquitoes susceptible to the transmission of arboviruses are mostly the tree hole mosquitoes. The main species include Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Mosquitoes, adaptable to forests and urban areas, play a crucial role in the propagation and dissemination of arboviruses like dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. Tree hole mosquitoes transmit the virus vertically and horizontally, while environmental factors like temperature, moisture, and rainfall affect their population distribution. These vectors contribute to the disease cycle in humans and enzootic transmission, increasing public health risks. Tree hole mosquitoes pose a significant threat to vector control programs due to their ecological adaptability and contribution to virus maintenance. This paper indicates the transmission pathways and control of the tree hole mosquitoes and highlights these issues on the global burden of the arboviral diseases and the need to have integrated vector management strategies.
