Entomopathogenic Fungi for Vector Control : Isolation and characterization of entomopathogenic fungi for inhibition of juvenile stages of mosquitoes

Surveillance of tree hole mosquito and their control measures, particularly juvenile stages in discrete ecosystem are addressed very limited. The present situation, in which the dengue parasite and vectors coexist, demands a constant surveillance from public health authorities to prevent epidemic episodes. Hence, this book deals with the isolation, characterization and evaluation of potentiality of indigenous entomopathogenic fungi against mosquito juveniles, for mosquito control strategies.
