The Indian scriptures of Vedic period contain many references to both mosquitoes and various fevers. The Atharvaveda (AV) especially mentions about the habitat, morphology of mosquitoes, their different types, behaviour and even their occurrence in different seasons of the year. In addition to this, the types of malaria i.e tertian, quartan, quotidian, are also described in Atharvaveda, which later on linked with different species of Plasmodium parasite in medical science. Even, the signs and symptoms of malaria fever are very well explained in Atharvaveda, Caraka Sahitā (CS) and Suśruta Sahitā (SS). Atharvaveda also encouraged on the use of various herbs like kuha, ajaśgī, guggulu, pīlū, naladi, aukgandhi, pramandani as preventive measures for painful bite of the mosquitoes. Thus, it is clear that our ancient seers or philosophers were already well aware of the harmful potential of mosquitoes and different fevers caused by these insects. Hence, they suggested different control measures for their eradication.

梵文早期文献中蚊子的识别，疾病的性质和治疗方法

吠陀时期的印度经文包含许多有关蚊子和各种发烧的资料。Atharvaveda（AV）特别提到了栖息地，蚊子的形态，它们的不同类型，行为，甚至它们在一年中不同季节的发生情况。除此之外，在Atharvaveda中还描述了疟疾的类型，例如，地线，石，quotidian，后来在医学中将其与疟原虫的不同种类联系在一起。甚至在Atharvaveda，CarakaSahitā（CS）和SuśrutaSahitā（SS）中也很好地解释了疟疾热的体征和症状。Atharvaveda还鼓励人们使用各种草药，例如kuha，ajajgī，guggulu，pīlū，naladi，aukgandhi，pramandani作为预防蚊子叮咬的预防措施。因此，显然，我们的古代先知或哲学家已经充分意识到了蚊子和这些昆虫引起的不同发烧的潜在危害。因此，他们建议采取不同的根除措施。
