“…Furthermore, the LC 50 value of chitosan nanoparticles containing cinnamon EO was obtained as 2.98 μg/mL in our previous study [11]; however, the LC 50 value of nanoliposomes containing cinnamon EO was achieved at 13.7 μg/ mL in the current study. Besides, the larvicidal effect of free chitosan nanoparticles in the mentioned report and another report by our team were around 18% [11,40].…”

e use of larvicides, especially in endemic regions, is recommended for malaria control. However, due to the excessive use of synthetic larvicides, resistance in mosquitoes and environmental pollution have been challenges. In the current study, nanoliposome containing clove and cinnamon essential oils and their major ingredients, i.e., eugenol and cinnamaldehyde, were rst prepared; particle size and successful loading were investigated using DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) and ATR-FTIR (Attenuated Total Re ection-Fourier Transform InfraRed) analysis. Larvicidal e ects of the nanoliposomes and nonformulated samples were then investigated against Anopheles stephensi. e best-observed e cacy (LC 50 5.4 μg/mL) was related to nanoliposomes containing eugenol with a particle size of 109 ± 4 nm. However, LC 50 values of the other three nanoformulations were also around 10 μg/mL; all four prepared nanoformulations were thus introduced as natural larvicides for further investigations in the eld conditions.

“…In another work, chitosan nanoparticles containing the C. zeylanicum EO (0.5%) were applied against An. stephensi with a CPT of 31 min [ 21 ]. Another paper reported protection times of nanoemulsion containing Mentha piperita and Eucalyptus globulus EOs at 4.17 h and 5.51 h against An.…”

“…In our previous study, the repellent effects of chitosan nanoparticles containing Cinnamomum zeylanicum EO (0.5%) were investigated; however, the efficacy was insufficient (31 min) [ 21 ]. Therefore, this study attempted to lengthen the complete protection time (CPT) by preparing the nanoliposomal gel containing two amounts of the C. zeylanicum EO (0.5 and 2.5%).…”

Malaria is the most important vector-borne disease; however, mosquito repellents are still a practical approach for controlling malaria, especially in endemic regions. Due to the side effects of synthetic repellents such as N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), the development of natural repellents has received much attention. In this study, nanoliposomes containing 0.5 and 2.5% w/v Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil were firstly prepared with particle sizes of 119 ± 6 and 195 ± 9 nm. Their morphologies and loading of the essential oil in the particles were then investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) analyses. The nanoliposomes were finally jellified to increase their viscosity and facilitate topical usage. The complete protection time of the nanoliposomal gel containing 2.5% C. zeylanicum essential oil was significantly longer than that of 2.5% DEET against Anopheles stephensi: 303 ± 10 > 242 ± 12 min, p < 0.001 . Moreover, the prepared nanoformulation was stable for at least six months at 4 and 26°C. Therefore, the prepared prototype could be considered a natural repellent against the main malaria mosquito vector in field conditions. In addition, it is suggested to be investigated against other important factors mosquitoes.
