Abstract
Mosquito borne illness continues to spread many health challenges, particularly in rural regions with less awareness and preventive infrastructure. This study aims to determine the level of awareness among rural residents regarding mosquitoes, their breeding sites and control strategies of three rural villages- Visapur, Karwa and Bamni of Ballarpur taluka, Chandrapur District, Maharashtra. Total 150 residents were randomly surveyed through structured questionnaires to assess data on their Knowledge, Strategies and experiences related to mosquitoes and diseases associated with them. Most participants observed higher mosquito activities during late evening and night hours and reported basic protective measures use against mosquitoes. The data revealed that many respondents had some awareness on mosquito-borne illness like Malaria and dengue, misunderstanding regarding breeding grounds and preventive strategies were still prevalent. However, limited visits by health authorities and inconsistent participation in awareness activities were noted. The findings bring attention to the need for consistent community-based awareness programs and increase public involvement for mosquito control efforts in rural settings. This study concludes valuable perspective into present knowledge gaps regarding awareness and helps in planning good strategies for diseases prevention.
