Abstract
This study aims to explore innovative approaches for vector control, specifically targeting the Aedes aegypti mosquito. A progressive methodology utilizing green synthesized selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) derived from Pontederia crassipes as a novel biocontrol strategy is proposed in this study. The preparation of plant extract was meticulously conducted to ensure optimal phytochemical yield, followed by the synthesis of Se-NPs through environmentally friendly methods. Characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles was performed using various techniques, including UV-Vi’s spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The findings indicate that the green synthesized Se-NPs can exhibit promising biocidal properties against Aedes aegypti, suggesting their potential as a sustainable alternative in dengue vector control strategies. This study highlights innovative vector management using green synthesized nano particles.
