Preparation of <i>β</i>-Myrcene-Chitosan Nanoparticles and Their Uptake and Toxicity in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> Larvae

Preparation of <i>β</i>-Myrcene-Chitosan Nanoparticles and Their Uptake and Toxicity in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> Larvae

Mosquito control still relies heavily on synthetic molecules, which can lead to the selection of resistant populations and undesirable environmental problems. This study described the preparation of a nanoparticle of the plant-derived molecule, <i>β</i>-myrcene, with chitosan, and the as...
