The entomopathogenic fungus  Metarhizium anisopliae  isolate IP 46, originating from a soil sample collected in 2001 in the Cerrado of Central Brazil, was tested for its ability to reduce the survival of adult male and female  Anopheles gambiae  s.s. and  An. arabiensis  mosquitoes. A 6-h exposure to the fungus coated on test paper at a concentration of 3.3 × 10 6  conidia cm -2  reduced the daily survival of both mosquito species (HR = 3.14,  p  < 0.001), with higher risk of dying in  An. gambiae  s.s relative to  An. arabiensis  (HR = 1.38,  p  < 0.001). Fungal sporulation was observed in >95% of mosquito cadavers in the treatment groups. The results indicate that  M. anisopliae  IP 46 has the potential to be a bio-control agent for African malaria vector species, and is a suitable candidate for further research and development.

First report of Metarhizium anisopliae IP 46 pathogenicity in adult Anopheles gambiae s.s. and An. arabiensis (Diptera; Culicidae)
