Larvicidal and histopathology effect of endophytic fungal extracts of Aspergillus tamarii against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Mill) METHOD: ) were calculated by probit analysis. Experimental monitoring duration was 48 h. RESULTS: extract reflected three compounds i.e. preg-4-en-3-one, 17. α-hydroxy-17. β-cyano- (7.39%), trans-3-undecene-1,5-diyne (45.77%) and pentane, 1,1,1,5-tetrachloro- (32.16%) which which might had attributed to larvae mortality. CONCLUSION: fungal metabolites for control of dengue and filariasis vectors is promising and needs a semifield and small scale filed trials.
