The efficiency of fabricated Ag/ZnO nanocomposite using L. leaf extract as a potent protoscolicidal and anti-hydatid cysts agent.

Background: As a consequence of their eco-friendliness, simplicity and non-toxicity, the fabrication of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles using greener chemistry has been a highly attractive research area over the last decade.

Aim: In this study focused on the fabrication of silver-Zinc oxide nanocomposite (Ag-ZnO NCs) using leaf extract and evaluating its potential biological activities, against in an in vitro and in vivo model using BALB/c mice.

Methods: In this study, the synthesis of Ag-ZnO NCs was accomplished using local leaf extracts.
