1. Is there a relationship between N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase activity of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin (Hyphomycetes) isolates from peridomestic areas in Central Brazil and larvicidal effect on Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera, Culicidae)?

Abstract:
... The larvicidal effect of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin (Hyphomycetes) isolated in peridomestic areas in Central Brazil was tested in Aedes aegypti (L.) (Dipt., Culicidae), which is worldwide the primary vector for the viruses that cause human dengue and yellow fever. Highest susceptibility of larvae was found after application of suspended ungerminated conidia. However, conidia, which ...
