Vector-borne diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and other arboviral infections, pose significant global health burdens affecting millions annually. Traditional vector control measures, like chemical insecticides, have played a vital role in disease management. However, the emergence of insecticide resistance and environmental concerns necessitates innovative solutions. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising approach for insect vector control, with nanoparticles offering unique advantages. Metal-based, silica, lipid-based, and polymer nanoparticles have shown insecticidal activity against vectors. Mechanisms of action include physical penetration, oxidative stress, disruption of metabolic pathways, and immunomodulation in insects. Nanoparticles demonstrate larvicidal, adulticidal, and repellent activities, providing multi-stage control strategies. Despite their potential, challenges include environmental impact, resistance development, formulation stability, and regulatory hurdles. Addressing these issues is critical to safely and effectively implementing nanoparticles in insect vector control. This review aims to explore the transformative potential of nanotechnology in combating vector-borne diseases and enhancing global health efforts.
