Phytosynthesized Metal Nanomaterials as an Effective Mosquitocidal Agent

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Emerging Nanomaterials for Advanced Technologies

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

Abstract

Mosquitoes are notable vectors of various diseases, including dengue, malaria, filariasis and yellow fever. Conventional mosquito repellents or mosquitocidal agents are synthesized via chemicals that have exhibited adverse toxicity towards humans and the environment with several limitations. In recent times, nanomaterials are introduced as a potential alternative to conventional mosquitocidal chemicals due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and ability to inhibit their growth at the cellular level. However, nanomaterials prepared via physical and chemical approaches are either costly or toxic to plants, animals, humans and the environment. Thus, nanomaterials fabricated using plant extracts are widely used recently as an effective mosquitocidal agent. The synergistic mosquitocidal property of the phytochemicals from plants and the nanomaterials is beneficial in inhibiting the population of mosquitoes by targeting their egg, pupa, larva and adult. Moreover, the phytochemicals as surface functional groups in these nanomaterials are beneficial in reducing their adverse toxic effects. Hence, this chapter is an overview of the various synthesis approaches to fabricate metal nanoparticles and the significance of phytosynthesis approach. In addition, the mosquitocidal property of the metal nanoparticles and their mechanism of action are also discussed.
