• Abstract:

  Malaria is one of the major

  public health problems caused by parasites

  of the genus Plasmodium. In Brazil, the

  Anopheles darlingi mosquito is the main vector

  of plasmodium in humans. In the search for

  alternatives the present study aimed to verify

  the efficiency of broth metabolites produced

  from strains of fungi isolated from the soil of

  the Forest of Science / INPA against larvae of

  Anopheles spp. Soil samples from the Bosque

  da Ciência / INPA were collected at six different

  points. Isolated soil fungi were isolated and

  selected for the production of metabolic broths.

  Twenty samples were tested in selective

  bioassays. The metabolic broths produced with

  the fungal samples isolated from the soil were

  efficient, killing all larvae L3 of Anopheles spp. mostly in 24 hours. The metabolic broth

  presented an insecticidal potential for the biological control of Anopheles spp. Of the

  fungi were identified the genera Trichoderma, Fusarium, Penicillium, Scopulariopsis

  and Gliocladium.
