Moringa oleifera is well known for its biological activity as antifungal and antibacterial agent. Researchers have worked to further enhance this activity using silver nanoparticles. Currently, there has been no report documenting the utilization of Moringa silver nanoparticles (AgNP@Moringa) as mosquito repellent agent, so this work is an unprecedented application in this field. From this perspective, synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using fresh Moringa leaves extract has been performed in order to increase its activity especially for controlling mosquitoes. The AgNPs@Moringa was characterized by different methods such as UV–Vis spectra and TEM. The results indicated that synthesized nanoparticles have spherical shape with average diameter of 1–17 nm. The hybrid solution containing Moringa-AgNPs was used to modify 100% cotton, 50% cotton (CO)/50% polyester (PET), viscose and linen fabrics, for use as mosquito repellent. The presence of AgNPs@Moringa nanoparticles on the fabric surface was investigated using FT-IR, SEM and EDX. The treated fabric repellency to Culex pipiens mosquitoes showed stable 100% repellency for 6 days for all treated fabrics and ranged from 50 to 90% repellency after 12 days.

辣木作为抗真菌和抗菌剂的生物活性而闻名。研究人员已努力使用银纳米颗粒进一步增强这种活性。目前，还没有报告记录的利用辣木银纳米粒子（AgNP @辣木）作为蚊驱蚊剂，使这项工作在这一领域的前所未有的应用。从这个角度出发，已经进行了使用新鲜的辣木叶提取物合成银纳米颗粒（AgNPs）的过程，以增加其活性，特别是对于控制蚊子的活性。AgNPs @辣木通过不同的方法（例如，UV-Vis光谱和TEM）进行表征。结果表明，合成的纳米颗粒为球形，平均直径为1-17 nm。含有辣木-AgNPs的混合溶液用于修饰100％棉，50％棉（CO）/ 50％聚酯（PET），粘胶纤维和亚麻织物，用作驱蚊剂。使用FT-IR，SEM和EDX研究了AgNPs @辣木纳米粒子在织物表面上的存在。处理过的织物排斥性淡色库蚊显示出稳定100％驱虫6天对所有处理过的织物，12天后为50〜90％的排斥性范围内。
