Discussion

Research demonstrates larvicidal activity of silver nanoparticles in Anopheles larvae, suggesting eco-friendly alternatives to chemical insecticides.

AgNPs synthesized from curcuma aromatica exhibit significant larvicidal activity against Anopheles larvae.
The synthesized nanoparticles showed an LC₅₀ value of 3.76 mg/L, indicating strong toxicity in a dose-dependent manner.
Characterization methods like UV-Vis spectroscopy and TEM confirmed particle size and silver presence in AgNPs.
These eco-friendly nanoparticles present a promising solution for integrated mosquito control and disease prevention.

Chandrasekar et al. (2025) studied this question.
