What are the challenges in controlling Aedes aegypti?
Several challenges hinder the effective control of Aedes aegypti, including:
Insecticide resistance: Overuse of chemical control methods can lead to resistance, making mosquitoes harder to kill. Urbanization: Rapid and unplanned urban growth creates numerous breeding sites and increases human-mosquito interactions. Climate change: Altering weather patterns can expand the geographic range of Aedes aegypti, introducing it to new areas. Socioeconomic factors: Limited resources and lack of infrastructure can impede effective vector control measures.
