Transmission and prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever, are also a serious threat to human health, drive people to pay more attention to the importance of mosquito control. Nowadays, wider use of chemical insecticides makes the problem of drug resistance increasingly serious. However, biological control technology can counteract the drug resistance on the premise of protecting the ecological environment, and has shown favorable application prospect. This paper reviewed the insecticidal mechanism and efficacies of biological insecticides such as bacteria, fungi and viruses for control of mosquitoes.
