Pupicidal 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 247.552 (168.241–306.155) 826.426 (662.296–1216.275) 1298.358 (998.426–2024.911) 0.107 n.s.
Aedes aegypti 197.989 (123.192–247.973) 663.423 (558.218–871.396) 1042.873 (844.107–1448.418) 0.454 n.s.
Culex quinquefasciatus 330.377 (276.730–393.263) 851.210 (693.877.1192.077) 1275.661 (1004.632–1872.644) 0.072 n.s.

na = 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.
