Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mosquito-borne diseases continue to pose significant threats to global public health, yet the fight against vectors like Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex is increasingly complicated by ecological shifts, insecticide resistance, limited surveillance capacity, and urban expansion. We invite researchers, public health professionals, vector control specialists, and policymakers to submit manuscripts that explore the persistent and emerging challenges in mosquito surveillance and control.
We welcome submissions covering (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Gaps in entomological surveillance systems;
- Innovations in mosquito monitoring tools and technologies;
- Insecticide resistance trends and management strategies;
- Operational barriers in integrated vector control programs;
- Data-driven decision-making in low-resource settings;
- Community engagement and risk communication in control campaigns;
- Climate and environmental influences on vector dynamics.
Submit your manuscript to contribute to this Special Issue and share lessons learned, novel approaches, and collaborative solutions to strengthen mosquito control efforts worldwide.
Dr. Solomon Birhanie
