Abstract

Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, has become a major public health concern worldwide. The primary vector, Aedes aegypti, has shown increasing resistance to conventional insecticides, necessitating the development of eco-friendly and effective alternatives. Herbal nanoemulsions, formulated from plant-derived essential oils, present a promising solution due to their enhanced bioavailability, biodegradability, and potent larvicidal activity. This review explores the potential of herbal nanoemulsions as mosquitocidal agents, their mechanism of action, formulation techniques, and their advantages over synthetic insecticides. Furthermore, challenges in large-scale production, stability, and field applicability are discussed. The review highlights the need for further research and regulatory approvals to integrate herbal nanoemulsions into vector control programs effectively.
