Abstract
Nowadays, very small sizes of nanoparticles
(metals) are being utilized in all scientific research and are still inspiring
researchers to discover new extents for their respective worth. In this
investigation, it was discovered that synthesised silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)
obtained from plant leaf extract were found to reduce the metabolic action of
mosquito larvae. The bio-inhibition method using silver nanoparticles proved to
be simple, very cost-effective, and convenient. The synthesis of nanoparticles
was confirmed by visual detection, in which the leaf extract of A.
paniculata, a greenish colour, turned into a brown-coloured solution.
Further characterization was done by FTIR analysis, SEM, and EDAX. In this
study, we assess the larval mortality of Anopheles Stephensi against A.
paniculata-AgNPs.
