Abstract
As the threat of mosquito-transmitted diseases to public health continues to intensify, the search for environmentally friendly methods of mosquito control has become a hot topic of research. Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis ( Bti ), an efficient biocontrol agent, has garnered widespread attention for its role in controlling mosquito larvae in aquaculture environments. This study provides a comprehensive overview of Bti 's application strategies, ecological and environmental impacts, challenges, and management approaches, aiming to evaluate its potential as a sustainable strategy for mosquito larva control in aquaculture. The study analysis reveals that Bti exhibits excellent performance in controlling specific mosquito species, yet it also raises concerns such as potential impacts on non-target organisms, the development of resistance, and application costs. There is a need to further enhance the efficiency of Bti 's application, explore strategies to mitigate resistance development, and conduct long-term environmental impact assessments. Furthermore, given that a single control method often falls short in addressing complex ecological issues, a comprehensive mosquito management strategy is particularly crucial. Through this in-depth analysis, we aim to provide robust theoretical support for ecological mosquito control in aquaculture and offer new ideas and directions for public health protection efforts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
