“…In addition, residues of synthetic insecticides can cause human health problems and water, air, and soil pollution (Hamid et al 2017). Eco-friendly alternate control uses botanical insecticides from plant extracts, attractants, and entomopathogens (pathogens that cause insect disease) (Nur Athen et al 2020;Raveen et al 2017). There are two Entomopathogens, bacteria, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Pruszynski et al 2017) and fungi, such as Metarhizium anisopliae (Butt et al 2013;de Paula et al 2021;Leles et al 2012) and Beauveria bassiana (Lee et al 2019).…”

Fungi from South Sumatra (Indonesia) were identified morphologically and molecularly, and their pathogenicity to egg, larvae, and adult Aedes aegypti was evaluated. The fungal isolates used for bioassay were 11 isolates from this study and 4 isolates from the laboratory collection. Fifteen isolates of five fungal species (Metarhizium anisopliae, Penicillium citrinum, Talaromyces diversus, Beauveria bassiana, and Purpureocillium lilacinum) from South Sumatra, Indonesia, were pathogenic to the egg, larvae, and adult of Ae. aegypti. Egg mortality caused by M. anisopliae isolate MSwTp3 was the highest (38.31%). A novel finding of this study was that the eggs exposed to the fungus not only killed the eggs but could continue to kill the emerging larvae, pupae, and adults. The five fungal species induced larval mortality between 52.22−94.44% and adult mortality between 50.00−92.22%. Fungal strains belonging to M. anisopliae, P. citrinum, T. diversus, and B. bassiana from South Sumatra seem to possess remarkable ovicidal, larvicidal and adulticidal activity against Ae. aegypti. M. anisopliae, P. citrinum, T. diversus, and B. bassiana had the potential as entomopathogens to be developed into ovicides, larvicides, and adulticides for controlling Ae. aegypti.

“…Furthermore, the routine use of synthetic insecticides causes other problems such as water, air, and soil pollution, human health problems, and the killing of non-target animals (Hamid et al 2017). An environmentally friendly controls which does not require synthetic insecticides to control mosquito is the use of plant extracts, such as papaya and pineapple peel extracts (Nur Athen et al 2020), or the use of biological control using entomopathogens such as entomopathogenic fungi (Greenfield et al 2015).…”

Abstract. Ramayanti I, Herlinda S, Muslim A, Hasyim H, Anwar C, Suwandi S, Damiri N, Irsan C, Verawaty M. 2023. Pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi to eggs, larvae, and adults and their effects on development of Aedes albopictus. Biodiversitas 24: 4766-4774. No information is available on the effect of fungi on the development of Aedes albopictus and the effectiveness of fungi in killing its eggs, larvae, and adults. The aim of this research was to determine the pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi on the eggs, larvae, and adults of Ae. albopictus and to investigate the effects of the fungi on the development of Ae. albopictus. The fungal species identified molecularly were Aedes albopictus, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Penicillium citrinum, and Talaromyces diversus. The results showed that entomopathogenic fungi negatively affected the development of Ae. albopictus and could decrease the eggs laid by adult females and shorten adult longevity. M. anisopliae was the most pathogenic fungal species (mortality rate 100%) for eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults of Ae. albopictus. However, B. bassiana, P. citrinum, and T. diversus were also found pathogenic to them. The effect of eggs treated with entomopathogenic fungi negatively affected the larval, pupal, and adult stages of Ae. albopictus. These findings highlighted that M. anisopliae, B. bassiana, P. citrinum, and T. diversus have insecticidal activity against Ae. albopictus eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Therefore, further investigation is needed to develop these fungal species into ovicides, larvicides, and adulticides to control Ae. albopictus.

Toxins and attractants have been studied and used in sugar baits for mosquitoes. However, little importance has been given to the combination of sugar concentration, bait composition, and their relationship with mosquito engorgement and mortality. Therefore, the present study evaluated the effects of three concentrations of sucrose on baits with and without an attractant (concentrated guava juice), on engorgement and mortality rates of adult Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, Diptera: Culicidae). Toxic sugar baits (TSB) and attractant toxic sugar baits (ATSB) containing 10, 50, and 70% sucrose and 100 ppm ivermectin (IVM) were prepared to assess engorgement and mortality rates. Subsequently, different concentrations of IVM (0.312–100 ppm) in TSB and ATSB were prepared with sucrose concentrations of 10 and 70% to determine the lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC90) values. Engorgement on the baits was observed under a stereomicroscope, and mortality was followed up to 48 h after feeding. In general, more mosquitoes engorged on TSB regardless of the sugar concentration, while higher concentrations of sugar in ATSBs resulted in higher numbers of mosquitoes engorging. A large increase in the LC90 of IVM was observed for females feeding on ATSBs and TSBs with 70% sucrose relative to those feeding on baits with lower sugar concentrations. No such effect was observed for males.
