Abstract
Entomopathogenic fungi can affect the mortality of adults, larvae, and eggs of Ae. aegypti. However, their effectiveness against the development of the mosquito has not been widely reported. This study evaluated the effect of entomopathogenic fungi from South Sumatra on the development of Ae. aegypti. Gravid I females of Ae. Aegypti, 11 isolates of Beauveria bassiana, and 4 separate isolates of Purpureocillium lilacinum, Talaromyces diversus, Penicillium citrinum, and Metarhizium anisopliae, respectively, were used for bioassays. The control pupae stage lasted 3.00 days and had a significant difference from the treated pupae, which reached 6.00 days, caused by M. anisopliae (isolate MSwTp3), T. diversus (isolate MSwTp1), P. citrinum (isolate BKbTp), and B. bassiana (isolates TaTsOI, TaAlPA, LtApPGA, LtKrLH, TaTtLH, TaLmMe , TaPsBA, and BSwTd4). The adult longevity of control was 31.00 days and differed significantly from the adult longevity treated with M. anisopliae (isolate MSwTp3) and P. citrinum (isolate BKbTp), which lasted only 4.33 days. The life cycle of control mosquitoes was 46.82 days, and significantly different from those treated with the fungi. The shortest life cycle caused by B. bassiana (isolate TaCjPGA) was 26.53 days. Finally, the entomopathogenic fungi from South Sumatra have negative effects on the development of Ae. aegypti.
