Green synthesis, Larval instars, Nanocomposite, Toxicity, Vector controlAbstract
The nanocomposite CuO@SiO2 was synthesized through green pathway using Gum Arabic. The green synthesized nanocomposite was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Diffraction X-Ray (EDX), Ultra-Violet/Visible spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR). These techniques confirmed the formation of CuO@SiO2 nanocomposite. The toxicity studies were conducted for 24 h on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th instars of malaria vectors at various concentrations of 10, 20, and 25 Mg/L. The LC50 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th instars were found to be 7.525, 7.980, 8.026 and 9.741 Mg/L, respectively, whilst the LC90 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th instars were found to be 14.839, 24.937, 57.77 and 48.5 Mg/L, respectively. The correlation coefficient values between concentrations and mortality for instars were obtained in the range of 0.944 - 0.984. These correlation coefficient values indicate that mortality rates increases with the increase in concentrations. The CuO@SiO2 nanocomposite could be a new nanolarvicide for malaria vector control in tropical countries.
