Arthropod-borne viruses are a group of etiologic agents accounting for different incapacitating diseases that progress to severe and lethal forms in animal and human targets consequently representing a significant burden on public health and global economies. Although attempts were undertaken to combat Aedes aegypti, the primary urban mosquito vector of several life-threatening diseases, the misuse of chemical pesticides, development of resistance, and toxicity on non-target species still need to be overcome. In this context, it is imperative for development of long-lasting, novel approaches envisioning effective control of Aedes aegypti, mainly in endemic regions. Thus, the present review was undertaken to describe safe and eco-friendly approaches as potential weapons against Aedes aegypti. Accordingly, the findings discussed indicated that biological larvicides and genetic engineering technologies constitute noteworthy alternatives of future mosquito-borne arbovirus disease control efforts.

节肢动物传播的病毒是一组病原体，解释了各种致残性疾病，这些致病性疾病在动物和人类目标中发展成严重和致命的形式，因此给公共卫生和全球经济带来沉重负担。尽管已尝试抗击埃及伊蚊，埃及伊蚊是几种威胁生命的疾病的主要城市蚊媒，但仍需克服化学农药的滥用，耐药性的发展以及对非目标物种的毒性。在这种情况下，迫切需要发展长期，新颖的方法，以期在主要流行地区实现对埃及伊蚊的有效控制。因此，本次审查的目的是将安全和生态友好的方法描述为潜在的武器埃及伊蚊。因此，讨论的发现表明，生物杀幼虫剂和基因工程技术构成了未来蚊媒虫媒病毒疾病控制工作的重要替代方案。
