The Effectiveness of Silver Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Abdominal Dropsy in Labeo rohita
Author(s): Maryyum Khalil*, Summia Perveen, Hafiz Muhammad Arslan-Amin, Iqra Anwar and Mahrukh Butt
Despite using antibiotics, in aquaculture of freshwater sp. facing severe challenges of bacterial strain resistance
occur. In order to combat disease-causing bacterial species, the present study was designed to assess the value of
green synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NP´s) from the extract of plant leaves for abdominal dropsy treatment
in Labeo rohita. For this purpose, an extract of lemon leaves extracts in powder form was prepared followed by a dry
method and a mixture of ethanol and distilled water (4:6) was added. Prepared nano-solution was then subjected
to further characterization of particles where color changes, UV-VIS spectroscopy, particle analysis, and FTIR were
done. Statistical results showed maximum (SGR%) value (2.65 ± 0.010) in T1 nano solutions treated group, had a
significant difference (P<0.05) as respect to other .. View more»
