摘要:Mosquitoes are one of the most dangerous insects in the entire world. Over one million people around the world wide dies from mosquito-borne diseases which are called as protozoan diseases like, malaria, filarial diseases and viral diseases such as dengue, encephalitis . In addition , It also acts as a vector being the main cause for transmitting many diseases .In this method we are proposing a new process where we detect the mosquito larvae present in polluted water bodies , using BT(Bacillus Thuringiensis) spray, which is an insecticide that kills the mosquito larvae present in the water bodies ,BT generally affects only the larval stage ,the mosquito lifecycle has many stages starting from egg , pupa, larva and adult .This method also helps to take the count of the larvae. Larval stage is one of the stages of mosquito lifecycle , which we are targeting to kill, because it becomes very difficult to kill the adult mosquitoes. The reason why we are using BT is because it is an insecticide unlike the pesticides which is very harmful for the environment .
