“…Ovicidal tests for green metallic nanoparticles are based on different non-standardized procedures [ 199 , 200 , 201 ]. Briefly, numerous mosquito egg rafts of different ages (0, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h) are laid in cups containing the tested nanoparticles (or distilled water as control) for 36 h. A predetermined number of eggs are then transferred into new cups containing distilled water where they are allowed to hatch for a total period of 120 h after oviposition.…”

Mosquitoes act as vectors of pathogens that cause most life-threatening diseases, such as malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Yellow fever, Zika, West Nile, Lymphatic filariasis, etc. To reduce the transmission of these mosquito-borne diseases in humans, several chemical, biological, mechanical, and pharmaceutical methods of control are used. However, these different strategies are facing important and timely challenges that include the rapid spread of highly invasive mosquitoes worldwide, the development of resistance in several mosquito species, and the recent outbreaks of novel arthropod-borne viruses (e.g., Dengue, Rift Valley fever, tick-borne encephalitis, West Nile, yellow fever, etc.). Therefore, the development of novel and effective methods of control is urgently needed to manage mosquito vectors. Adapting the principles of nanobiotechnology to mosquito vector control is one of the current approaches. As a single-step, eco-friendly, and biodegradable method that does not require the use of toxic chemicals, the green synthesis of nanoparticles using active toxic agents from plant extracts available since ancient times exhibits antagonistic responses and broad-spectrum target-specific activities against different species of vector mosquitoes. In this article, the current state of knowledge on the different mosquito control strategies in general, and on repellent and mosquitocidal plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles in particular, has been reviewed. By doing so, this review may open new doors for research on mosquito-borne diseases.

“…Zinc precursors such as zinc acetate [Zn(OAc) 2 ], zinc chloride [ZnCl 2 ], zinc nitrate [Zn(NO 3 ) 2 ] and zinc sulphate [ZnSO 4 ] solutions are individually used with a fixed amount of plant extract, and it serves as the source for preparing zinc oxide nanoparticles through the application of various methods that involve heating, centrifugation, etc. that finally results in the formation of the desired nanoparticles [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Further, UV–Vis spectroscopy was used to confirm the nanoparticles that were synthesized.…”

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have become one of the most popular metal oxide nanoparticles and recently emerged as a promising potential candidate in the fields of optical, electrical, food packaging, and biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and low cost. They have a role in cell apoptosis, as they trigger excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and release zinc ions (Zn2+) that induce cell death. The zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using the plant extracts appear to be simple, safer, sustainable, and more environmentally friendly compared to the physical and chemical routes. These biosynthesized nanoparticles possess strong biological activities and are in use for various biological applications in several industries. Initially, the present review discusses the synthesis and recent advances of zinc oxide nanoparticles from plant sources (such as leaves, stems, bark, roots, rhizomes, fruits, flowers, and seeds) and their biomedical applications (such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, photocatalytic, wound healing, and drug delivery), followed by their mechanisms of action involved in detail. This review also covers the drug delivery application of plant-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles, focusing on the drug-loading mechanism, stimuli-responsive controlled release, and therapeutic effect. Finally, the future direction of these synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles’ research and applications are discussed.

“…1 In this case, among different nanomaterials, zinc oxide (ZnO) has emerged as a superior material, attracting attention from researchers due to its multifaceted applications in medicine, organic synthesis, electronics, optoelectronics, and photocatalysis. [2][3][4][5][6] Of particular interest is the wurtzite phase of ZnO, which is characterized by a hexagonal symmetry in the P63mc space group, which endows exceptional structural and electronic attributes. 7 As the scientic community advances towards greener and more sustainable practices, the development of eco-friendly strategies for the synthesis of wurtzite ZnO nanoparticles with tunable band gaps has become the focus of research.…”
