- •
Eco-friendly control tools against malaria and Japanese encephalitis vectors are a priority.
- •
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) were fabricated using Ichnocarpus frutescens aqueous extract as a reducing and capping agent.
- •
AgNP were characterized by UV–vis spectrophotometry, FTIR, SEM, TEM, AFM, EDX and XRD.
- •
AgNP showed potent larvicidal activity against malaria and arbovirus vectors, LC50 ranged from 14 to 17 μg/mL.
- •
Biotoxicity against non-target aquatic organisms was neglible, LC50 ranged from 636 to 2098 μg/mL.
