Larvicidal activity of green synthesized silver nanoparticles using L. (Euphorbiaceae) leaf extract against .

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using plant extracts has been achieved by eco-friendly reducing and capping agents. The present study was conducted to evaluate the larvicidal efficacies of AgNPs synthesized using aqueous leaf extracts of against dengue vector, . The 3 and 4 instar larvae of were exposed to various concentrations of aqueous extracts of , synthesized AgNPs and also crude solvent extracts (methanol and chloroform) for 24 h.
