Larvicidal activity of Fusarium oxysporum fungal extract against Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus 24 h post treatment.

Mosquito species (na = 375)	LC50 (95% LCL-UCL) (μg/ml)	LC90 (95% LCL-UCL) (μg/ml)	LC99 (95% LCL-UCL) (μg/ml)	χ2 (df = 4)
Anopheles stephensi	109.248 (26.596–160.622)	471.871 (412.356–572.163)	767.502 (646.431–988.095)	0.152
Aedes aegypti	70.789 (8.635–119.862)	358.435 (316.461–422.297)	592.940 (507.507–742.851)	4.408
Culex quinquefasciatus	320.307 (276.749–367.614)	738.217 (628.484–940.646)	1078.922 (891.394–1431.661)	0.048

n^a = total number of mosquitoes used per each species, 25 per replicate, three replicates were carried out, five concentrations were tested, LC₅₀ = lethal concentration killing 50% of exposed organisms, LC₉₀ = lethal concentration killing 90% of exposed organisms, LCL = 95% lower confidence limits, UCL = 95% upper confidence limits, χ² = chi square (not significant, p > 0.05); df = degrees of freedom.
