**4. Conclusions**

Many mosquito vector control strategies have been developed in recent years, but these strategies must take into account the local context and their application must be guided by integrated vector management.

In vector control strategies, various advances are being developed worldwide in all forms of control, for example, regardless of biological and genetic control the extensive development of the use of other species of fungi, *Wolbachia* bacteria, the sterile male technique, and the genetic manipulation of insects, which have already been tested in field conditions, may bring interesting results for inclusion in traditional control programmes in the future. A great development is expected in the use of the CRISP technique in gene editing in mosquitoes for later release.

A great development is expected in the use of autodissemination augmented by males, which is a technique that offers many advantages and can be used in combination with traditional control methods.

It is possible that in the future, the use of insecticides will be limited by the development of the above control strategies; however, it is necessary to develop other alternatives that arise from plants where the use of nanotechnology can play an important role.

These advances are essential, but the communities that ultimately benefit from all this development must be taken into account.

The efforts of researchers in the development and evaluation of these and new control methods, the political will of governments, funding from the business sector, and community participation are essential to the success of these strategies.
