Literature Survey

Regarding the relationship of the economic status to the proneness to acquire mosquito

diseases, the study of Luqman et al. (2013) revealed that the socio-economic status of the

Dengue patient’s family could be disturbed due to this epidemic outbreak. The economic status

of the Dengue victims’ family was agitated due to its high cost of treatment. Indirect expenditure

spent on Dengue fever treatment is the foremost cause of interruption about the economic status

of Dengue victims’ family. Thus Dengue fever has far-reaching influence on the socio-economic

status of the Dengue patients and their families.

While, what makes an individual more attractive (orless repellent?) to mosquito bites

remains definitively unanswered. REBOLLAR-TÉLLEZ, E. (2005) revealed that despite

evidence of differences in attractiveness among people, little work has been undertaken to

unravel why certain individuals are more attractive than others.

The study of Ricci, F. (2012) shows that there is a social implication of poverty to Malaria.

According to the study, many poor countries experience number of issues of Malaria. It revealed

that it is one of the major killers in the world. Multidimensional poverty is a determinant of

health risks, health-seeking behavior, health care access and health outcomes. Furthermore,  as

analyses of health outcomes become more refined, it is increasingly evident that poor and

marginalized populations might not be benefiting from investments in malaria prevention and

control.
