Agricultural practices play a crucial role in shaping mosquito habitats. As global agricultural activities continue to expand changes in mosquito habitats have profound implications for public health. This study aims to systematically explore how agricultural practices influence the formation and alteration of mosquito habitats. The research covers various aspects including mosquito ecological needs water management and irrigation practices crop cultivation and landscape changes pesticide use and agricultural waste management. Through case studies of rice cultivation in Southeast Asia irrigation systems in Sub-Saharan Africa and pesticide use in South America this study reveals the specific impacts of different agricultural practices on mosquito populations and disease transmission. The study also proposes mitigation strategies such as integrated pest management sustainable water management habitat modification and biological control. This study is expected to provide scientific evidence for formulating more effective agricultural policies and public health strategies promoting the coordinated development of agriculture and public health.
