Mosquito-borne diseases are a major public health concern worldwide. Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti are two of the most important vectors of these diseases, including dengue fever, chikungunya and Zika virus. Vector control is a critical strategy for the prevention and control of these diseases. The use of natural products, such as plant extracts, has gained increasing attention due to their potential for vector control with minimal impact on the environment.

Mosquito-borne diseases are a major public health concern worldwide. Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti are two of the most important vectors of these diseases, including dengue fever, chikungunya and Zika virus. Vector control is a critical strategy for the prevention and control of these diseases. The use of natural products, such as plant extracts, has gained increasing attention due to their potential for vector control with minimal impact on the environment. Seagrasses are marine plants that have been reported to possess a range of bioactive compounds. These compounds have been shown to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Recently, seagrasses have been explored for their potential as a source of compounds with insecticidal properties. In particular, several studies have investigated the potential of seagrass compounds to combat Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. The exploration of seagrass compounds for vector control is an important area of study. Seagrass compounds have shown promising results in laboratory studies as larvicidal agents against Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. These compounds have also been reported to possess repellent properties against these vectors. Furthermore, the use of natural products such as seagrass compounds is an environmentally friendly approach to vector control. In this context, this book aims to explore the potential of seagrass compounds as a source of potent compounds for the control of Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. The book focused on the isolation and characterization of bioactive compounds from selected seagrasses. The bioactive compounds will be tested for their larvicidal and repellent activities against Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti.This work will provide valuable insights into the potential of seagrass compounds as a source of natural products for vector control. The results of this work may contribute to the development of new and effective larvicidal and repellent agents for the control of Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. Additionally, the book contributes to the understanding of the ecological role of seagrasses in the marine ecosystem and their potential for bioprospecting and drug discovery. The use of seagrass compounds for vector control has the potential to provide a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases.
