Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles shows improved larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti, suggesting eco-friendly alternatives for pest control.

AgNPs achieved 100% mortality of Aedes aegypti at just 25 ppm within 96 hours, highlighting their effectiveness.
The median lethal concentration (LC50) for green-synthesized AgNPs was 3.22 ppm, compared to 381.94 ppm for neem extract.
Biosynthesis involved using neem leaf extract, analyzed through UV-Vis, TEM, SEM, and FTIR techniques for characterization.
Findings suggest AgNPs may offer a safer and more effective solution to combat Aedes aegypti larvae in aquatic environments.

Kumari et al. (2025) studied this question.
