Microorganisms are agents of biological control, among them, the entomopathogenic fungi stand out. Tolypocladium cylindrosporum IP419 and IP425, Lecanicillium psalliotae IP456, IP491 and IP492 were isolated from sentinel larvae. Conidiobolus macrosporus IP396 and L. psalliotae IP455 isolated from adult culicíneos. At 5 and 15 days, depending on the fungus, conidia were scraped from sporulated culture plates and adjusted in suspensions. In 30 eggs/ replicate, 50 μL of suspension of the isolates IP419, IP425, IP455, IP456, IP491 and IP492 were applied in five concentrations (3.3 × 103 to 3.3 × 105 conidia/cm2). For IP 396, 2.5 × 104 conidia/cm2 was applied. In experiments with larvae (10 L3/repeat), five concentrations were applied (3.3 × 105 to 3.3 × 107 conidia/ml) for IP419, IP425, IP455, IP456, IP491 and IP492, and (103 to 105 conidia/ ml) for IP396. The controls were treated with distilled water. Adults were exposed to five concentrations (3.3 × 104 to 3.3 × 106 conidia/cm2) of conidia of IP419 and IP425. For IP396 and IP455, IP456, IP491 and IP492, adults were exposed to the sporulated culture. Adult controls were not exposed to fungi. Ten adults were exposed in 4 replicates. There was no significant activity of the isolates tested against eggs. Mortality of larvae treated with T. cylindrosporum was ≤ 90% at the lowest concentration (3.3 × 105 conidia/ml) and 100% at the highest concentration (3.3 × 107 conidia/ml). The LC50 and LC90 were 3.5 × 104 conidia/ml and 6.8 × 106 conidia/ml for IP419 and 5.9 × 105 and 1.3 × 107 conidia/ml for IP425. The TL50 and TL90 for IP419 at the highest concentration (3 × 107 conidia/ml) was ≤ 7 hours. The concentrations applied had a significant effect (P <0.001). In larvae treated with IP396, mortality of L3 increased with conidia concentration, in the highest concentration (105 conidia /ml), was ≤ 57% in 48 h. There was no growth of the fungus on L3 exposed in agar medium for IP396, for T. cylindrosporum the fungal development was ≤ 70%. Mortality of larvae in controls was ≤ 15%. L. psalliotae had no larvicidal activity. Mortality of adults treated with T. cylindrosporum was ≤ 75%. There was fungal development on corpses ≤ 65%, the concentrations applied had a significant effect (P <0.001). The cumulative mortality of IP396 treated adults reached 100% after 5 days, and ≥ 80% over 10 days for L. psalliotae. The results show that T. cylindrosporum and C. macrosporus have potential for integrated control of larvae and adults of A. aegypti.
