“…Even with this minority status, they pose a formidable challenge to the contemporary healthcare system. The most notorious vectors belong to three genera of the mosquitoes namely, Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex [5]. The mosquitoes transmit diverse groups of pathogens including protozoa, nematodes, and viruses infecting mammalian hosts (Table1).…”

“…albopictus represent the predominant species well adapted for successful invasion. The close association of these species with human dwellings, the resistance of their eggs against prolonged desiccation and larval habitats in small and temporary water holdings in the vicinity of human habitation have contributed to their success in invasion and transmission of the pathogens [5].…”

“…The number of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, their global presence [2], the invasive trend [5] and the metabolic and behavioral resistance possessed by them [7] make the mosquito control process quite tough. Repellence as one of the strategies has been in practice for a long time in the management of mosquito-borne diseases [8].…”

Mosquitoes enjoy wide geographical distribution and act as vectors for diverse pathogenic organisms from viruses to protozoans. Mosquito-borne diseases have a long history with some of them like Malaria dominating the scene for centuries. New diseases like Dengue fever, Zika viral disease etc. get added to the list from time to time. Vector control is an effective and widely accepted strategy in the management of mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquito repellents are an important product range extensively used for the management of mosquito-borne diseases. The research and development activities on mosquito repellents of plant origin have been reviewed in this article and classified into three categories like research reports, patents and commercial products, based on their outcomes. The relevance of plant-based mosquito repellents is discussed with reference to current societal and market trends. The review has revealed an increasing trend among researchers towards product development and entry of effective and innovative products into the market. The market analysis reports also confirm competitive advantage for herbal repellents in the coming years.

Mosquitoes play a central role in the transmission of vector‐borne pathogens causing important diseases in humans, livestock and wildlife. The identification of mosquito blood feeding preferences represents an essential step in epidemiological studies to identify the potential reservoirs and the contact rates between infective and susceptible hosts. Different methods have been used to trace mosquito bloodmeal origins in ecology and public health studies providing valuable results. These studies are specially relevant under a global change scenario, where habitat alteration and changes in the distribution of the ecological community of mosquitoes could affect the dynamics of transmission of mosquito‐borne pathogens. Key Concepts Mosquitoes play a central role in the transmission of many vector‐borne pathogens. Environmental conditions determine the mosquito community structure in the area, potentially affecting the dynamics of transmission of vector‐borne pathogens. Female mosquitoes feed on blood to obtain resources for egg development. The bloodmeals of mosquitoes provide a valuable source of genetic material allowing the identification of vertebrate species origin even to the level of individuals host and the pathogens interacting with them. Integrating information on the feeding patterns of mosquitoes into epidemiological models contributes to identifying the risk of transmission of vector‐borne pathogens to human and other animals.
