“…The physical method refers to slicing bulk material to get nanosized particles, which mainly includes vacuum condensation, the evaporation-condensation method, and the mechanical ball grinding method [ 29 ]. Conversely, the chemical method creates nanostructures by controlling the deposition and growth of atoms and molecules, including solvothermal [ 30 ], sol-gel [ 31 ], and microemulsion methods [ 32 ]. As the most widely used chemical method, the superior advantage of the solvothermal method is the use of no catalysts, but the synthesis mostly prefers toxic solvents to fabricate required materials [ 33 ].…”

Insects act as vectors to carry a wide range of bacteria and viruses that can cause multiple vector-borne diseases in humans. Diseases such as dengue fever, epidemic encephalitis B, and epidemic typhus, which pose serious risks to humans, can be transmitted by insects. Due to the absence of effective vaccines for most arbovirus, insect control was the main strategy for vector-borne diseases control. However, the rise of drug resistance in the vectors brings a great challenge to the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases. Therefore, finding an eco-friendly method for vector control is essential to combat vector-borne diseases. Nanomaterials with the ability to resist insects and deliver drugs offer new opportunities to increase agent efficacy compared with traditional agents, and the application of nanoagents has expanded the field of vector-borne disease control. Up to now, the reviews of nanomaterials mainly focus on biomedicines, and the control of insect-borne diseases has always been a neglected field. In this study, we analyzed 425 works of the literature about different nanoparticles applied on vectors in PubMed around keywords, such as“nanoparticles against insect,” “NPs against insect,” and “metal nanoparticles against insect.” Through these articles, we focus on the application and development of nanoparticles (NPs) for vector control, discussing the lethal mechanism of NPs to vectors, which can explore the prospect of applying nanotechnology in the prevention and control of vectors.
