Larvicidal activity of synthesized silver nanoparticles using Eclipta prostrata leaf extract against filariasis and malaria vectors

The significant reduction in reaction time with Eclipta leaf is an important resultant and was enable nanoparticle biosynthesis methods to compete with other plant assisted biosynthesis. The formed silver nanoparticles were highly stable and showed significant mosquito larvicidal activity. The surfa...
