In "Potent Compounds from Seagrasses Against Deadly Vectors," author D Monisha delves into the fascinating world of seagrasses and their potential as sources of natural compounds for controlling disease vectors such as Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. These mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting deadly diseases such as dengue, malaria, and Zika, and finding effective ways to control their populations is a pressing global health challenge.

Monisha's book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on seagrass compounds with mosquito larvicidal activity. She explores the various species of seagrasses and their unique biochemical profiles, as well as the methods used to extract and isolate bioactive compounds.Drawing on her own research and that of other scientists in the field, Monisha discusses the potential applications of seagrass compounds as larvicides and the challenges involved in developing them into effective and safe mosquito control agents. She also highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect seagrass ecosystems and the potential benefits that could be derived from sustainable seagrass harvesting.

"Potent Compounds from Seagrasses Against Deadly Vectors" is a must-read for anyone interested in the fascinating world of natural product discovery and the fight against mosquito-borne diseases.
