In this study, the efficacy of eight fungi isolate against four instarlarvae of mosquito vectorCulexmolestusForska were tested.Fungi isolated and identified wereAspergillus niger,A.flavusA.candidus, Penicillium sp., Candida sp, Alternariaalternaria, Fusariumsolaniand Trichophytonviridel.The larvae were treated with different periods ranged from 48to 96 hours. The results showed the presence of a significant effect ofthe fungal filtrates A.niger and Penicillum sp. on the mortality of larvae as the percentage of mortality reached 74.85% and 64.44 %,respectively compared to the rest of the fungi.The concentration of 100% surpassed the remaining examined concentrations yielding the highest percentage of mortality 96.66% and 100% for the fungus A.niger and 68.33% and 100% for the fungus Aspergillus, respectively within 48 and 96 hours after treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
