    Mosquito is one of the most vexing bloodsucking insects. Malaria, Filariasis, Japanese Encephalitis, Dengue fever, Yellow fever, Chikungunya, and Zika are all transmitted by mosquito species belonging to the genera Anopheles, Culex, & Aedes. Mosquitoes alone infect almost 700 million people each year, resulting in one million fatalities. Malaria, which is caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted by female Anopheles mosquito bites, is still a substantial illness that impacts the development of infants and kids. Present review work aims to review various pharmaceutical dosage forms of anti-repellent products and their molecules, mechanism of repellent activity as a preventive of different vector bone diseases. Malaria cases were over 207 million in 2012, with 627,000 deaths reported. In addition, Yellow fever, which is spread by the Haematologus and Aedes mosquitoes, causes 200,000 instances of disease and 30,000 fatalities worldwide each year. Dengue fever is spread by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitos, which are responsible for more than 100 million infections yearly. Furthermore, more than 2.5 billion individuals, or about 40% of the world's population, are now in danger of contracting Dengue fever. This review helped to understand the various kinds of vector bone disease and the surveillance of disease data. In addition, the review revealed the various pharmaceutical products would help control the Mosquitoes bits and related disease as preventive aspects and the components of pharmaceutical and their mechanism of action to inhibit the spread of various insects’ related disease

DOI: 10.1080/136515002753489371 [Full text of this article is not available in the UHRA]Previous studies of sleep disturbance in OCD have produced contradictory findings. This may be due to different methodological approaches but may also reflect the fact that many studies have not screened OCD patients for depressive symptoms. This is particularly important since major depression is well known to disrupt sleep. METHOD: The current study examined 94 subjective reports of sleep as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Twenty-four OCD patients with and without co-morbid depression ( n =12 in each group) were compared with a group of normal subjects ( n =57) and a group of subjects with major depression ( n =13). RESULTS: In general, the OCD patients with co-morbid depression exhibited very similar sleep patterns to the group with major depression. By contrast, those OCD patients without depressive symptoms showed similar sleep patterns to the group of normal subjects. Thus, contrary to some earlier studies, these data suggest that OCD does not generally influence reported sleep patterns unless there is a co-morbid diagnosis. However, a few non-depressed OCD patients did report sleep phase shifting, suggesting that a small proportion may have abnormal sleep parameters. CONCLUSION: Such anomalies may be masked by group analyses and further case studies are therefore warranted to investigate whether such patients exhibit abnormal scores on biological sleep markers.Peer reviewe
