Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and biotoxicity of Hypnea musciformis-synthesized silver nanoparticles as potential eco-friendly control tool against Aedes aegypti and Plutella xylostella.
Mathath Roni,Kadarkarai Murugan,Chellasamy Panneerselvam,Jayapal Subramaniam,Marcello Nicoletti,Pari Madhiyazhagan,Devakumar Dinesh,Udaiyan Suresh,Hanem F. Khater,Hui Wei,Angelo Canale,Abdullah A. Alarfaj,Murugan A. Munusamy,Akon Higuchi,Giovanni Benelli +14 more
TL;DR: This study adds knowledge on the toxicity of seaweed borne insecticides and green-synthesized AgNP against arthropods of medical and agricultural importance, allowing us to propose the tested products as effective candidates to develop newer and cheap pest control tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green-synthesized silver nanoparticles as a novel control tool against dengue virus (DEN-2) and its primary vector Aedes aegypti
Vasu Sujitha,Kadarkarai Murugan,Manickam Paulpandi,Chellasamy Panneerselvam,Udaiyan Suresh,Mathath Roni,Marcello Nicoletti,Akon Higuchi,Pari Madhiyazhagan,Jayapal Subramaniam,Devakumar Dinesh,Chithravel Vadivalagan,Balamurugan Chandramohan,Abdullah A. Alarfaj,Murugan A. Munusamy,Donald R. Barnard,Giovanni Benelli +16 more
TL;DR: Overall, this research highlighted the concrete potential of green-synthesized AgNP in the fight against dengue and its primary vector A. aegypti and further research on structure–activity relationships of AgNP against other d Dengue serotypes is urgently required.
Journal ArticleDOI
S argassum muticum-synthesized silver nanoparticles: an effective control tool against mosquito vectors and bacterial pathogens
Pari Madhiyazhagan,Kadarkarai Murugan,Arjunan Naresh Kumar,Thiyagarajan Nataraj,Devakumar Dinesh,Chellasamy Panneerselvam,Jayapal Subramaniam,Palanisamy Mahesh Kumar,Udaiyan Suresh,Mathath Roni,Marcello Nicoletti,Abdullah A. Alarfaj,Akon Higuchi,Murugan A. Munusamy,Giovanni Benelli +14 more
TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles synthesized using the aqueous extract of the seaweed Sargassum muticum for control of mosquito vectors seems promising since they are effective at low doses and may constitute an advantageous alternative to build newer and safer mosquito control tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mosquito control with green nanopesticides: towards the One Health approach? A review of non-target effects
Giovanni Benelli,Filippo Maggi,Roman Pavela,Kadarkarai Murugan,Marimuthu Govindarajan,Baskaralingam Vaseeharan,Riccardo Petrelli,Loredana Cappellacci,S. Suresh Kumar,Anders Hofer,Mohammad Reza Youssefi,Abdullah A. Alarfaj,Jiang-Shiou Hwang,Akon Higuchi +13 more
TL;DR: A wide number of promising results in the field of green-fabricated pesticides tested against mosquito vectors are reviewed, outlining several examples of synergy withclassic biological control tools and identifying several key challenges at the interface between "green" nanotechnology and classic biological control.
Journal ArticleDOI
