The mosquito's resilience poses challenges for control efforts from "summary" of The Mosquito by Timothy C. Winegard
The mosquito, as a species, has proven time and time again to be remarkably resilient in the face of human efforts to control its population. This resilience stems from a variety of factors, including the insect's ability to adapt quickly to changing environments and develop resistance to commonly used insecticides. One of the key challenges posed by the mosquito's resilience is the fact that traditional methods of control, such as spraying insecticides or draining breeding grounds, are becoming less effective over time. This is due in part to the mosquito's ability to rapidly evolve and develop mechanisms to counteract these control measures. Furthermore, the mosquito's resilience ...
