What is it about?
Advanced technology for effective mosquito vector control is a need of the hour. The present study emphasises the cost effective and eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of CuO NPs using leaf extract of T. procumbens is reported. The larvicidal activity against dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever transmit vector A. aegypti species was studied using CuO NPs and the results were discussed
