Abstract :

Mosquitoes are among the most important insect pests affecting the health of people and animals. In the present study, the effect of Insect Growth Regulatory (IGR) activity of fungi Metarhizium anisopliae (M. anisopliae) against the mosquitoes An. stephensi, Cx.tritaeniorhynchus and Ae. aegypti. Conidia of M. anisopliae were tested against eggs of the vector mosquitoes by adding fungal suspension to plastic cups containing 50 ml of distilled water with 100 larvae of mosquitoes. Each cup was inoculated with 1ml of fungal suspensions (1x105, 1x106, 1x107, 1x108 and 1x109 conidia/ml). The IGR activity of M. anisopliae against the malarial vector An. stephensi the EI50 values are 4.06, 3.13, 2.70 and 1.86 conidia/ml for larval age groups I, II, III and IV respectively. The bio assay with the entomopathogenic fungi of M. anisopliae against Cx. tritaeniorhynchus revealed the EI50 values of four larval groups were 3.01, 2.05, 1.75 and 1.42 conidia/ml I, II, III and IV age groups respectively. M. anisopliae as an improved act of Insect Growth Regulatory activity agents in laboratory bioassays as well as simulated field conditions suggests that it may have good potential to become part of a mosquito control program.
