Did you know that mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on Earth? Every year, they transmit life-threatening diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and more — causing millions of deaths worldwide. To highlight the importance of prevention and control, the Department of Microbiology at Akal College of Basic Sciences (ACBS) observed World Mosquito Day 2022 with an awareness lecture and discussion.

🎤 “Mosquitoes — The Deadliest Creatures”
The session was led by Dr. Nasib Singh, Associate Professor, Department of Microbiology, who enlightened the audience about the health risks posed by mosquitoes and effective ways to prevent and control their spread.
An Enthusiatic House with Eager Minds
The event saw enthusiastic participation from undergraduate and postgraduate students, PhD scholars, and faculty members across various departments. The interactive discussion and lively Q&A session allowed everyone to engage deeply with the topic, share ideas, and clear misconceptions about mosquito-borne diseases.
