Infection of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae and Adults by the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin

Laerciana P. Vieira, Adriano R. Paula, Cátia O. Paula, Renato A. DaMatta & Richard I. Samuels · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2013

Aims: The dengue vector Aedes aegypti is currently a target for control by entomopathogenic fungi. We have previously shown the susceptibility of both larvae and adult A. aegypti to fungal infection by Metarhizium anisopliae and strategies are being developed for control of both...
