Green synthesis, characterization, acaricidal, larvacidal, and repellent activities of copper nanoparticles of Astragalus sinicus against Hyalomma anatolicum
Objective: To green synthesize and characterize copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) using Astragalus sinicus, as well as evaluate the acaricidal, larvacidal, and repellent activities of CuNPs against Hyalomma anatolicum (H. anatolicum), one of the most prevalent ticks infesting cattle in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: CuNPs were green synthesized by adding the Astragalus sinicus extract to a copper sulfate solution.
