Anophelesmosquito life cycle: https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/about/life-cycles/anopheles.html
Culexmosquito life cycle: https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/about/life-cycles/culex.html
Look at the life cycle of the two mosquito vectors involved in malaria and West Nile virus transmission. Consider the details of their biology in terms of: 1) habitat of different stages, 2) duration of life cycle, 3) food needs, 4) feeding preferences, 5) how far they disperse.
Below write out how each might be a useful aspect to consider in terms of controlling the insect and /or its ability to transmit the disease to humans.
