Abstract
Mosquito-borne diseases are a major global health concern, particularly those transmitted by Aedes aegypti. Conventional chemical pesticides often lead to resistance and environmental hazards, creating a need for eco-friendly alternatives. This study evaluates selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) synthesized using Pontederia crassipes extract for their mosquitocidal properties. SeNPs demonstrated strong larvicidal, pupicidal, and adulticidal activity at low concentrations, with complete inhibition of egg hatchability at 75 ppm. Compared to crude methanol extracts, SeNPs showed superior efficacy with lower LC₅₀ values. These findings highlight the eco-friendly potential of SeNPs as a sustainable agent for mosquito vector control.
