Mosquitoes transmit life-threatening diseases to humans. The conventional mosquito control techniques that have been focused on population reduction by the application of insecticides or through source reduction by removing the larval habitat have become limited, and it has been evidenced by increased disease burden globally. This review focuses on advanced techniques that reduces and modify the mosquito population and limit their disease transmission by releasing the modified mosquitoes into the environment and that are presently under development and have the potential of controlling the mosquito-borne diseases.
