Pupicidal activity of a binary combination of Fusarium oxysporum fungal extract + temephos 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 | 38.668 (34.401–52.921) | 195.048 (153.728–241.172) | 385.588 (317.664–536.697) | 1.668 n.s. |
| Aedes aegypti | 26.394 (22.173–42.153) | 92.331 (76.932–115.284) | 246.274 (221.394–283.249) | 0.771 n.s. |
| Culex quinquefasciatus | 72.086 (60.932–98.302) | 227.304 (190.058–275.098) | 422.610 (353.125–563.736) | 3.011 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.
