- W2079181219 abstract "Abstract Dengue fever vectored by the mosquito Aedes aegypti is one of the most rapidly spreading insect-borne diseases, stimulating the search for alternatives to current control methods. Screening assays using a range of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana isolates were performed against adult female Ae. aegypti. Four virulent isolates were selected for detailed study. Adult female mosquitoes were exposed to supports previously inoculated with fungal suspensions. Fungal isolates were suspended in Tween 80+8% vegetable oil. The isolates caused between 70 and 89% mortality as a result of fungal infection over the 7-day test period. Mean survival times varied between 3 and 5 days for treated insects, whilst control survival exceeded 40 days. The most promising isolate, M. anisopliae LPP133, based not only on virulence but facility for mass production, was used for lethal exposure time determinations. An exposure time of only 3.5 h was necessary to cause 50% mortality. Large cage trails were also carried out and mean survival time of insects exposed to fungus impregnated black cloths was significantly reduced. These results show that entomopathogenic fungi could be promising biological control agents for use against adult Ae. aegypti, by inoculating fungi onto surfaces on which the mosquitoes tend to rest. The subsequent mortality caused by the fungi could potentially reduce the populations of this insect thus reducing the incidence of Dengue.
