Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Caryota urens Against Dengue Causing Vector Aedes aegypti

In the recent past application of synthetic pesticides used to control mosquito-borne diseases like Zika, dengue, and filariasis. However, the vectors become resistant to chemical insecticide and few botanically-derived compounds. A plant producing compounds often show higher mortality against disease-carrying vectors. This study described that Caryota urens synthesizing silver nanoparticles shows the highest mortality against dengue causing vector Aedesa egypti vector. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UVVisible Spectroscopy, XRD and TEM. At a different concentration of nanoparticles from C. urens applied against various instars of A. aegypti. Ovi position deterrence of A. aegypti also described with a different concentration in that the highest concentration of C. urens shows increasing activity. Therefore, this study concluded that plant-producing nanoparticles are ecofriendly and safe for humans.
