Mosquitoes are a global danger with high impact on human health. They have a robust host seeking strategy and unusual flight dynamics. This review gives a short overview of the main threats of these tiny insects, points out its position in zoological model animals and discusses novel physical and computer-based methods for mosquito identification, killing, and monitoring. The focus is on applications using imaging systems, acoustical detection, and lasers in combination with advanced signal analysis and processing. Fur-thermore, recent crowd data acquisition and theoretical modeling of human behavior and mosquito population/vector dynamics are dis-cussed. The conclusion show, how future pest control strategies and devices can be optimized to end up in cost-efficient products for the broad market.
