Abstract
Mosquito-vector diseases are prevalent globally, particularly in
tropical and subtropical regions with ideal meteorological conditions.
Mosquitoes are often controlled with the use of larvicide and repellent.
However, employing these chemically derived Insecticides have rendered
larvae resistant to them. Green nanotechnology, namely silver nanoparticles, is
gaining popularity. These mosquito control products are made from plant extracts,
reducing the danger of hazardous chemical exposure. This review study
examines the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using phytoextracts and their
impact on mosquito larvae and pupae. Silver nanoparticles outperformed the
basic plant extract in terms of larvicidal efficacy. Furthermore, green silver
nanoparticles require a substantially lower dosage to induce a 50% reduction in
larvae/pupae population than plant extracts.
