Additionally, the integration of satellite remote sensing data into mosquito population models has enhanced the accuracy of predictions and can potentially improve early warning systems for mosquito-borne diseases. Future research should explore the development and implementation of novel control methods, such as genetic modifications and biological control agents, in conjunction with advanced modeling techniques to achieve sustainable and effective mosquito management. By focusing on these future research directions, we can better understand and manage the complex interactions between climate, environmental changes, and mosquito population dynamics, ultimately reducing the burden of mosquito-borne diseases (Djerdj et al., 2022). 7 Concluding Remarks This study literature highlights the intricate relationship between climate and environmental changes and mosquito population dynamics. Climate change, particularly temperature fluctuations, significantly impacts mosquito physiology and population dynamics, influencing the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and malaria. Urbanization and land-use changes also play a crucial role, with urban environments often providing ideal conditions for mosquito proliferation. The studies underscore the importance of considering multiple factors, including temperature, precipitation, and urbanization, in predictive models to better understand and manage mosquito populations. The findings emphasize that effective mosquito control strategies must integrate climate and environmental considerations. Temperature and precipitation are critical drivers of mosquito population dynamics, affecting their breeding, survival, and disease transmission capabilities. Urbanization exacerbates these effects by creating habitats conducive to mosquito breeding, necessitating targeted interventions in urban areas. Predictive models that incorporate climate variables can provide valuable insights for developing adaptive mosquito control strategies, ensuring they remain effective under changing environmental conditions. Future mosquito population management must adopt a holistic approach that includes climate and environmental factors. Advances in remote sensing and system dynamics modeling offer promising tools for enhancing our understanding of mosquito ecology and improving control measures. Additionally, addressing knowledge gaps in mosquito thermal adaptation and the role of phenotypic plasticity will be crucial for accurate predictive modeling and public health preparedness. As climate change continues to alter environmental conditions, adaptive and region-specific strategies will be essential for mitigating the risk of mosquito-borne diseases and protecting public health.
