Abstract

ARSEF 1580, in the group of tested isolates, is the most promising isolate for use against terrestrial eggs, aquatic larvae and adults of this important vector.

Use of Theobroma cacao Pod Husk-Derived Biofertilizer is Safe as it Poses neither Ecological nor Human Health Risks

“…The larvicide test was performed at the Laboratório de Pesquisa de Inseticidas Naturais (LAPIN), the Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB), Itapetinga, Bahia [22,23]. The established colony of A. aegypti originated from eggs of Rockefeller lineage.…”

“…The production and preparation of conidia of both isolates and the confirmation of their viability at the beginning of each assay were done as reported by Rocha et al . (). Three‐ to five‐day‐old eggs were prepared as reported by Luz et al .…”

“…The larvae were then kept at 25 ± 1°C and a 12 h photophase for up to 10 days and fed on alternating days (Rocha et al . ). Water levels in cups were checked daily, and their original levels restored with sterile distilled water.…”
