Abstract

Increasing efforts have been observed for the development of eco-friendly mosquitocides against arboviruses vectors. The diseases transmitted by some mosquitoes have been of global concern, being huge problems of public health in low-income countries and recent cases in developing countries opened an alert. The control may be performed in the mature form of the mosquitoes or the immature forms, such as larvae and pupae. Growing interest is observed for the nano-based formulations, especially those prepared with natural products. Therefore, this chapter shows recent advances through a revision of the literature and summary of the researches that bring the main nanoformulations and their respective bioactivities against mosquito vectors.
