Fungi from Anopheles darlingi Root, 1926, larval breeding sites in the Brazilian Amazon.

Resumen

Descripción

The fungi present in the aquatic habitats of mosquito larvae may provide the appropriate means to develop and implement biological control measures against malaria vectors [21–23], however, few mosquito-fungi interactions have been characterized. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the diversity of cultivable fungi present in the aquatic habitats of Anopheles darlingi larvae in two malaria-endemic municipalities in the state of Amazonas, and to fill a considerable gap in knowledge of the fungi present in the breeding sites of this important malaria vector.
