Larvicidal effects of metarhizium anisopliae Blastospore against aedes albopictus

Aedes albopictus is an important vector especially for the transmission of many viral pathogens, including dengue fever, Chikungunya fever and yellow fever (Motoki et al., 2019). Besides that, Ae. albopictus also can act as a vector that can highly transmit dangerous diseases such as heartworm that...

The median lethal concentration 50 (LC50) and lethal concentration 90 (LC90) for the blastospore suspension was 5.6x104 blastospore/ml and 7.5x106 respectively.
