In vivo antiparasitic activity of biogenic Iron nanoparticles on ectoparasitic branchiuran, Argulus siamensis in Labeo rohita and effect on parasite ion channel genes
Overall, biosynthesized IONPs present a promising alternative for controlling Argulus siamensis, demonstrating strong antiparasitic effects with manageable toxicity. Further studies on optimizing nanoparticle formulations and minimizing environmental risks are recommended to enhance their application in sustainable aquaculture.
