Global warming enhances the rapid spread of mosquito-borne diseases resulting in unknown consequences in the future. The global economic development, increased urbanization, and climate change have significantly increased the mosquito-borne disease transmission pattern and dynamics. In India, mosquito-borne diseases have been a core public issue for decades. Hence, mosquito control is primordial for preventing the transmission of malaria, lymphatic filariasis, dengue fever, Yellow fever, Zika virus infection, West Nile fever, and chikungunya virus infection in the human population. The mosquito control strategies based on ecology have received much more attention during the 1960s, as chemical pesticides induce negative impacts on human health and the ecosystem. Most of the current approaches in mosquito control have several limitations related to the development of insecticide resistance, lack of long-term sustainability, and negative impacts on the ecosystem and the environment. This review offers invaluable insights into severe mosquito-borne diseases, various vector control strategies, and the influence of climate change in mosquito-borne disease transmission.  a1387-585X, 1573-2975
