What Are the Challenges in Controlling Culex Mosquitoes?
Controlling Culex mosquitoes poses several challenges:
Resistance to Insecticides: Over time, mosquito populations can develop resistance to commonly used insecticides, reducing their effectiveness. Environmental Concerns: The use of chemical insecticides can have adverse effects on the environment and non-target species. Urbanization: Rapid urbanization can create new breeding sites and increase human-mosquito contact.
