Abstract
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) are complex
socio-ecological systems that have an impact on many facets of our planet and
go well beyond human health. Even though previous study has focused on the
direct consequences of vector-borne illnesses on human health and death, it is
evident that these diseases are part of a complex web of interactions. The
environment, ecology, diseases, and societal reactions are closely associated
with vector-borne diseases, resulting in feedback loops that facilitate the
spread of disease. As a result, they have permanently altered the course of
human history. The application of nanoparticles produced by various processes
as novel insecticides has attracted a lot of interest. Silver nanoparticles
plays a crucial role along with gold, zinc oxide and other nanoparticles in the
control of (VBDs). Many research have examined the toxic effect against a
variety of pests and insect vectors, with a focus on mosquitoes. Using
nanoparticles as cutting-edge insecticides is a promising line of inquiry in
the battle against VBDs. This review encompasses around the various
nanoparticles (NP’s) and their mode of action and various control strategies
against vectors.
