Emerging Nanomaterials for Advanced Technologies

Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a pioneering field among the diverse fields of science, including insect pest management. Mosquito-borne diseases have an important public health issues in morbidity and mortality worldwide. They include malaria, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, filariasis and dengue fever. The development of insecticide-resistant mosquito species is becoming a challenging risk factor. To resolve this, nanoparticles provide a new direction to control vector and vector borne diseases. Nanoparticles have an effective similar to that of chemical insecticides against the larva and mosquitoes. Due to this biogenic nature as well as the eco-friendly approach and host specificity actions, the use of nanomaterials becomes effective. Recently, many innovative techniques have been introduced in nanobiotechnology, including green nanotechnology, the development of tissue-specific nanopores and nanobiosensor. Thus, they have opened the door to a safe and environmentally friendly clinical approach. According to this chapter focus was on the different nanoparticle synthesis and their target basic mechanisms of malarial parasite and arbovirus control. Nanoparticles coated with drug are used for control release, biocompatibility and stability. Beside these, different types of nanoparticles have shown a potent ability to control mosquito-borne infectious diseases.
