- •
Eco-friendly control tools against malaria, filariasis and arbovirus vectors are a priority.
- •
Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using the Nicandra physalodes aqueous extract as a reducing agent.
- •
AgNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectrophotometry, XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM.
- •
AgNPs showed potent larvicidal activity against malaria and arbovirus vectors, LC50 ranged from 12 to 14 μg/mL.
- •
Biotoxicity against non-target aquatic organisms was negligible, LC50 ranged from 1032 to 19,076 μg/mL.
