lives due to mosquito-borne diseases” (2012). A mosquito is an insect which lives around the world especially in tropical and subtropical countries. The mosquito has both positive and negative effects. As part of positive effects, larvae of mosquitoes are food for fish and dragonflies, and when mosquitoes consume nectar, they help the flowers to pollinate. On the other hand, mosquitoes make people annoyed and cause many diseases. World Health Organization (2016) explains that the mosquito is the greatest

Located in the Kingdom Protozoan Malaria is a parasitic mosquito born organism passed to humans by several species of the genus Anopheles and is responsible for about 220 million infections every year and 600,000- 1,200,000 deaths every year. The developing world is disproportionately affected which had led to some unique changes when dealing with infections such as drugs needing to be cheap, administered orally and stable at relatively high temperatures. However in keeping with the old saying prevention

The current interventions in place are vector control and insecticide treated mosquito nets. Vector control involves the reduction of vector habitats through the use of chemical larvicides and adulticides and of biological control agents. This method is hindered however, by a weak program capacity, as well as by the absence of well-defined indicators and program targets along with a poor understanding of efficacy and cost-effectiveness of control measures particularly in terms of reducing transmission
