Ctenocephalides felis  is an ectoparasitic flea species commonly found on dogs and cats. The current study verified the  in vitro  virulence of conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus  Beauveria bassiana  produced under different color LED light (red, blue, purple, green, yellow, and white) to adults of  C. felis . The fungal isolates were cultivated on malt extract agar (MEA). Bioassay treatments used aerial conidia in test tubes. Adult fleas were obtained from a house cat in Chiang Mai province, Thailand. The experiments were composed of one control and eleven treatment groups. All of the treatments with  B. bassiana  conidia caused adult mortality after an exposure of 12 h. Among the conditions used in this study,  B. bassiana  cultured under red LED and fluorescent light were the most effective in causing mortality (100 %) in adult fleas after 36 h. The experimental results indicate that these aerial conidia of  B. bassiana  have promising potential for use in control of  C. felis  adult stages.
