HISTOPATHOLOGICAL PROTOCOL TO FIND OUT THE MODE OF ACTION OF FUNGUS BEAUVERIA BASSIANA (BALSAMO) PREPARATION ON MIDGUT OF FOURTH IN STAR LARVAE OF ANOPHELES STEPHENSI (L.)
AbstractThe effect of many plant extracts and microbial biopesticides on insects’ different developmental stages and physiology have been widely studied from time to time, but the effect of microbial biopesticides on the mosquito tissues, especially mid gut tissues, is very few. Since the malaria vector is one of the most important inclusions in human health and mosquito-borne diseases represent a great health threat in tropical and sub-tropical climates, it is quiet logical to know the detailed mode of action of fungus on Anopheles stephensi (L.) larvae after assessing the bio toxicity. In the present study, we have mainly emphasized the midgut of Anopheles stephensi (L.) to understand better the larvicidal action of fungal biopesticide Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo). After treatment with the fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo), the cytopathic effects of the fungus were widespread along the whole anterior and posterior part of the midgut tissues.
