This investigation shows larvicidal efficacy of eco-friendly silver nanoparticles against Anopheles gambiae, suggesting a new vector control method.

Silver nanoparticles demonstrated effective larvicidal activity against Anopheles gambiae, resulting in significant mortality of the larvae.
The most potent formulation from Alstonia boonei achieved an LC50 of 65.2% Cl after one hour, with concentration-dependent effects observed.
Bio-synthesis involved using plant extracts, confirmed by techniques like Surface Plasmon Resonance and scanning electron microscopy.
Findings highlight the potential of eco-friendly silver nanoparticles in mosquito control strategies, reducing reliance on traditional insecticides.
