  abstract = {{D}eadly pathogens and parasites are transmitted by vectors and the mosquito is considered the most threatening vector in public health, transmitting these pathogens to humans and animals. {W}e are currently witnessing the emergence/resurgence in new regions/populations of the most important mosquito-borne diseases, such as arboviruses and malaria. {T}his resurgence may be the consequence of numerous complex parameters, but the major cause remains the mismanagement of insecticide use and the emergence of resistance. {B}iological control programmes have rendered promising results but several highly effective techniques, such as genetic manipulation, remain insufficiently considered as a control mechanism. {C}urrently, new strategies based on attractive toxic sugar baits and new agents, such as {W}olbachia and {A}saia, are being intensively studied for potential use as alternatives to chemicals. {R}esearch into new insecticides, {I}nsect {G}rowth {R}egulators, and repellent compounds is pressing, and the improvement of biological strategies may provide key solutions to prevent outbreaks, decrease the danger to at-risk populations, and mitigate resistance.},
