Abstract
Nanotechnology has enhanced the management in controlling pest, due to
its ability to produce nanoparticles with its unique physio-chemical
properties. The zinc oxide nanoparticles show high efficacy in larvicidal
activity against various mosquito vector. The species Aedes aegypti
transmits various important diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and zika. The
species Aedes aegypti is also known as cosmopolitan. The present review
summarizes about the nanoparticles based insecticides against the mosquito
larvae. By the vast usage of chemical insecticides increases the resistances in
insects. So, the alternative to chemical insecticides is botanical based
nanoparticles helps to reduces or prevent the mosquito Aedes aegypti has
increased its attention in previous years. This present review is about the
traditional methods to control mosquitoes and disadvantages of conventional
mosquito control, the effectives of ZnO nanoparticles against the larvicidal
mosquito, involvement of various other metallic nanoparticles against
larvicidal, the effect of plant based nanoparticles is used against the species
against Aedes aegypti and its mechanism of nanoparticles used to control
the species. Additionally, the carboxypeptidase enzyme is inhibited by the zinc
ions, preventing mosquito proliferation and development.
