Mosquito is a major health concern as it is the principal vector of a number of diseases affecting human beings and other animals [1]. Members of genera Anopheles, Culex and Aedes are vectors for transmitting diseases like malaria, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever, chikungunya and yellow fever [2].
