Dr. Amal D Premarathne's principal research interests include a wide range of topics related to the fields of Seaweeds and the medicinal properties of natural plant extracts. I am a hardworking and dedicated individual with thorough experience and knowledge in research methods. I am particularly interested in understanding the seaweeds association data, seaweeds diversity, and work on finding taxonomy and their ecology. These diverse fields have given me many opportunities to travel and work all around the country.

Elimination of malaria has been successfully recorded, but still continues as a major health hazard in developing
countries. As malaria control relies mainly on indoor residual spraying of insecticides, it has become a fear task due
to widespread resistance in malaria vectors. However, any disease control studies taken can influence its success
(vector control failures) and as a result, may have a direct effect on pathogen transmission. Currently, vector control
strategies rely heavily on insecticide interventions. But unfortunately, the effectiveness of insecticide-based vector
control is being overcome as mosquitoes develop resistance to insecticides. The most serious obstacles in mosquito
control are insecticides resistance. This review has shown that insecticides are involved to eliminate vector-borne
diseases. Therefore, effective management should be designe.. View More»
