Plant extracts have been used as both reducing and capping agents, which has helped make the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) more eco-friendly. Following a 30-minute treatment with aqueous leaf extracts, a change in color was evident, indicating the formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Moreover, the confirmation was achieved by analyzing data acquired from a range of analytical techniques, such as the UV-visible spectrum, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The larvicidal activity of these silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was evaluated against the third instar and fourth larvae of Aedes aegypti in the present study. The results indicated that the larvae displayed a reaction that differed depending on the dosage, with AgNPs at 20 mL demonstrating the most notable effect on mortality rates. More precisely, when the concentration was 90 μg/mL, the mortality rate was 84% for 3rd instar larvae and 87.33% for 4th instar larvae. In contrast, the concentration of 12.5 μg/mL resulted in the lowest amount of activity, specifically 12.67%, on 3rd instar larvae. This phenomenon can be attributed to the likelihood of the radicals forming chelation bonds on the extensive surface area of the nanoparticles. The study demonstrates the potential use of R. annamalayana-mediated AgNPs as highly effective larvicidal agents for the development of innovative nanoparticle-based biological treatments.

Extensive insecticide use for mosquito-borne disease control has led to resistant mosquito strains, undermining effectiveness. This study assessed the efficacy of Sphaeranthus Indicus flower extracts against Aedes Aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes, major vectors of dengue, chikungunya, lymphatic filariasis and malaria etc. Extracts were evaluated for larvicidal and pupicidal effects, and LC 50 values were calculated. The hexane and methanol extracts demonstrated significant larvicidal activity with LC 50 values of 134.18 ppm and 116.54 ppm for Aedes Aegypti , and 115.96 ppm and 114.91 ppm for Culex quinquefasciatus , respectively. The methanol extract also exhibited effective pupicidal activity with LC 50 values of 172.90 ppm ( Aedes Aegypti ) and 126.98 ppm ( Culex quinquefasciatus ). Ovicidal activity was not observed. These findings suggest the potential of Sphaeranthus Indicus extracts as natural alternatives to chemical insecticides for controlling disease-carrying mosquitoes. Further research should consider safety, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness before integrating these extracts into vector control programs, as alternatives to conventional insecticides.

The Anopheles culicifacies mosquito is a vector for malaria found in southern India. Control of the Anopheles culicifacies mosquito as a vector needs to be carried out appropriately and in an environmentally responsive manner. The research aimed to examine the mortality and growth of Anopheles culicifacies mosquito larvae due to administration of Stephania japonica L leaf extract and to determine the effective concentration of S. japonica leaf extract in increasing mortality and reducing the growth of Anopheles culicifacies mosquito larvae. A bioassay for mosquito repellence and biocidal activity was performed. Mortality data was obtained by bio testing, which was then tested using probit analysis to determine the effectiveness of the test material. The results showed that larval mortality increased with increasing extract concentration. The extract's effectiveness against the test larvae was demonstrated by the toxicity level of the extract (LC50-48 hours) being 5.01%. Larval growth also decreased with increasing extract concentration; GI (Growth index) values ranged from 0-1, and RGI (Relative growth index) values ranged from 81% to 100%.

Biological control of mosquito is an eco-friendly approach for the control of some vector borne diseases. Numerous tools have been developed and applied to scale down the mosquito population, but the ultimate goal of these different strategies is only to mitigate the menace of mosquito and effectively prevent malaria like diseases. Unfortunately, most of these vectors control measurement the time limited prevention of diseases. For example, they were used as an insecticide, but insecticide resistant mosquito vectors are developed in course of time. Major efforts may be focused on generating eco-friendly alternatives. In current scenario there are many potential alternatives for eradicating and controlling the mosquito vectors biologically. Effective use of aquatic insect predators, larvivorous fishes, symbiotic bacteria, microbial agent and entopathogenic fungi for this purpose are still rather unexplored calling for further research. Biological control of mosquito vectors has been validated for several advantages over insecticides. To resolve the problem of current dependence on insecticidal-based mosquito elimination the option of biological control of this vector is ecofriendly and sustainable. The current knowledge of bio-controlling agents highlighting its significance in the field of public health with respective have been reviewed in this article along with the prospective challenges and opportunities.

Mosquitoes are accountable for the spread of numerous diseases like malaria, Dengue, Zika, Yellow fever, Chikungunya etc. among human beings. The best way to limit mosquito contact is to use personal protection and insect repellents. The majority of chemical repellents however, is unhealthy for people and can have negative effects on their skin in addition to other health-related issues. As a remedy, mosquito repellents from natural sources may not create any such kind of harm and could be a better alternative to synthetic repellents. Hence, natural repellents are preferable to chemical ones. Therefore, this study was designed to utilize an olfactometer to examine mosquito vector behaviour in response to fresh citrus fruit peel extracts. The statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences in mosquito repellency of three citrus peel extracts against the four mosquito species tested (F = 3.1668, df- 3, p
蚊子是疟疾、登革热、寨卡病毒、黄热病、基孔肯雅热等多种疾病在人类之间传播的罪魁祸首。限制蚊子接触的最好方法是使用个人防护和驱蚊剂。然而，大多数化学驱蚊剂对人来说是不健康的，除了其他与健康有关的问题外，还会对皮肤产生负面影响。作为一种补救措施，天然来源的驱蚊剂可能不会造成任何此类伤害，可能是合成驱蚊剂的更好替代品。因此，天然驱蚊剂比化学驱蚊剂更可取。因此，本研究旨在利用嗅觉仪检测蚊虫对新鲜柑橘果皮提取物的反应。统计分析表明，3种柑桔皮提取物对4种蚊虫的驱蚊效果差异有统计学意义(F = 3.1668, df- 3, p

Mosquitoes are notorious vectors of severe diseases, posing significant threats to human health. Although pesticides are commonly used for mosquito control, their indiscriminate application can harm the environment and non-target organisms. Consequently, alternative strategies, such as plant-based mosquitocides, are gaining interest. This study evaluated the larvicidal efficacy of methanolic leaf extracts from Vitex negundo and Argemone mexicana against the fourth instar larvae of Anopheles subpictus. The extracts were analyzed for phytochemical compositions. Larvicidal bioassay showed concentration-dependent activity of both extracts against An. subpictus. V. negundo extract exhibited 86.36% mortality at 400 ppm, while A. mexicana extract showed 83.33% mortality at the same concentration. Probit analysis determined LC 50 and LC 90 values for V. negundo as 217.06 ppm and 404.32 ppm, respectively, and for A. mexicana as 224.45 ppm and 420.34 ppm, respectively. These findings suggest the potential of V. negundo and A. mexicana as natural larvicidal agents against An. subpictus .

Anopheline mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) consist of a large number of species. The distribution (Mapping) of malaria vectors is important for strategic planning and control strategies. Malaria risk within communities is usually associated with exposure to its vectors inside households (HHs) and necessarily with the existing larval habitats near the HHs. Studies were conducted from April 2020 to March 2022 in 4 areas/Hai of the Kodok locality (KL), Upper Nile State (UNS), Republic of South Sudan (RSS), to determine the indoor resting density and its seasonal changes, in addition to the number of Anopheles and other mosquitoes in a given room by adopting the pyrethrum spray sheet (PSS) collection technique for adults (80 HHs) and the dipping method for larval collection from 8 potential breeding sites. A total of 63,644 adults were collected and identified as follows: A. gambiae S.S . (68%), A. arabiensis (26%) and other mosquitoes (6%). The density / HH in the rainy-season (April -Oct.) varied between HHs; viz . A. gambiae s.s. (52-67) and A. arabiensis (20-28). In the dry -season (Nov. to March) the numbers were 2-12 and 0-5, respectively. A total of 7,704 larvae was collected, of which A. gambiae formed 88% and the other mosquitoes formed 12%, in the inspected breeding sites (384 visits). It is concluded that several Anopheles species are present in KL. A. gambiae is the dominant species during both dry -and wet –seasons. Densities were higher in the wet-than the dry-season. This information must be seriously considered during the vector control (VC) programs.

Developing nations are more susceptible to illnesses carried by vectors than are developed nations. Malaria is a severe issue in Africa; it is responsible for 20% of all children fatalities and results in a kid dying from the disease every 30 seconds. Malaria incidence and mortality rates are both rising quickly. With the development of drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium Vivax and Plasmodium Falciparum, as well as the vectors' tolerance to chemical pesticides, the malaria issue has taken on new dimensions. These are the major challenges of controlling malaria, hence developing new methods of doing so is urgently necessary. Vishama Jwara, or irregular or intermittent fever, has two main sorts of causes: Agantuja (External forces) and Svabhavaja Hetu (Internal reasons). Apart from these different Jwara Nidanas, the onset of Vishama Jwara (irregular or intermittent fever) is also influenced by Samanya Jwara Nidana (general aetiology of fever) as described in Sushruta Samhita and Sannipatika Jwara Nidana (aetiology of fever caused by Tridosha) as described in Charaka Samhita. The conceptual study and the observational investigation are the two sections of the current study. The length of the infection and the strain of Plasmodium determine how severe it is.

Hibiscus cannabinus, often known as kenaf, is contain significant amount of bioactive compounds and acts as a natural antioxidant. The aim of this in silico investigation is to find out how the flower extract, Sulfite oxidase inhibits the mosquito ( Anopheles darlingi ) protein, pro-resilin, using 3D automated drug docking studies. In this methodology, we perform primary analysis on the amino acid sequences of pro-resilin and sulphite oxidase using NCBI GenPept and HDock server for performing drug docking analysis. The overall results clearly elucidate that the intramolecular dynamic interaction between Sulfite oxidase and the motif regions of Pro-resilin is very effective. This results in the downregulation of the expression of Pro-resilin which has been shown in 3D form. At present, research on mosquito control is of prime focus at global level. Our in silico research investigation is a safe initiative to control mosquitoes using flower extract as it is devoid of side effects.
