Abstract
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are one of the dangerous vectors that spread many life-threatening diseases like malaria, yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, filariasis, encephalitis, West Nile Virus infection etc. To control these vectors, many chemical pesticides or insecticides are available in the market but recent works confirmed that these are actually very harmful to environment. It is also revealed that the mosquitoes are increasing their resistance power against these pesticides or insecticides. So, there has been growing interest in the use of extracts of medicinal plant parts as alternatives to insecticides or pesticides due to their biodegradability and adaptability to environmental as well as health conditions.
