Aedes aegypti is the primary vector for arboviral diseases such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses, posing a significant threat to global public health. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the biological characteristics, global distribution, disease transmission dynamics, and public health impact of Aedes aegypti. Factors such as climate change, urbanization, and increased global trade are accelerating the expansion of this mosquito species, particularly into previously unsuitable areas. The study examines the effectiveness and sustainability of traditional vector control methods (e.g., insecticides, environmental management) and innovative strategies (e.g., genetic modification, sterile insect techniques, and the introduction of Wolbachia bacteria). It emphasizes the critical role of community involvement and public health education in mosquito control and discusses the challenges and opportunities related to existing policies and global coordination efforts. Future research should focus on insecticide resistance, the impact of climate change on mosquito expansion, and the development of predictive models to improve global disease control strategies. Strengthening international cooperation, establishing comprehensive policy frameworks, and promoting public participation are key to combating Aedes aegypti-borne diseases.
