According to the latest World Malaria Report by the World Health Organization (WHO), there were an estimated 249 million cases of malaria in 85 malaria-endemic countries, with an increase of 58 cases per 1000 population at risk, and 608,000 malaria deaths worldwide in 2022. Anopheles mosquitoes, which transmit malaria, only breed in clean, sunlit water. They typically bite late at night (between 10 PM and 4 AM) and are most prevalent in rural areas. Female mosquitoes require blood meals for egg production, and these blood meals create a link between human and mosquito hosts in the parasite's life cycle. On the night of March 14, 2023, in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, an adult female Anopheles mosquito bit a human to begin its blood meal.

Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and other insect vectors continue to place a critical burden on the world's poor, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas including countries in the South-East Asia Region. Some pockets in Nadia, North 24 Parganas and Hooghly have seen a sudden rise in cases, and at least five people in Kolkata have died due to dengue in the last week. According to World Health Organization (WHO), Vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing more than 700 000 deaths annually. They can be caused by parasites, bacteria or viruses. Malaria parasitic infection transmitted by Anopheline mosquitoes causes an estimated 219 million cases globally, and results in more than 400,000 deaths every year. Most of the deaths occur in children under the age of 5 years. Dengue viral infection is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. More than 3.9 billion people in over 129 countries are at risk of contracting dengue, with an estimated 96 million symptomatic cases and an estimated 40,000 deaths every year. Other viral diseases transmitted by vectors include chikungunya fever, Zika virus fever, yellow fever, West Nile fever, Japanese encephalitis. Mosquito larval or larvae sampling is underway by a voluntary organization at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 31/07/2023.
