Isolasi dan Uji Patogenitas Isolat Fungi Entomopatogen Terhadap Stadium Dewasa Nyamuk Aedes aegypti

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of four types of entomopathogenic fungi isolated from Ae. aegypti mosquitoes from Bandar Lampung to the mortality of adult stages of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. This research was conducted in October 2018-January 2019 at the Microbiology Laboratory of FMIPA, University of Lampung. This research using factorial completely randomized design with two factor treatment. The first factor is type of isolate (Mucor sp., Penicillium sp., IL3 (unidentified), Aspergillus sp.) and second faktor is dilution (control, 10 (without dilution), 10-1, 10-2, 10-3). Data were analyzed using ANOVA. If there are significant differences, then it is continued by the Duncan Test at the level of 5%. The results showed that the four types of fungi (Mucor sp., Penicillium sp., Aspergillus sp. and IL3) were able to cause mortality of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes with the highest killing power was  in Mucor sp. 10 (without dilution) is 43.33%. But the most effective is Mucor sp. 10-3 because the highest dilution has been able to cause mosquito mortality by 30%.  Key words: Ae. aegypti, DHF, entomopathogenic fungi, isolate, dilution.
