Novel, Meso-Substituted Cationic Porphyrin Molecule for Photo-Mediated Larval Control of the Dengue Vector Aedes aegypti
Figure 5
Larvicidal photosensitizing effect of C14 porphyrin.
Mortality of Ae. aegypti larvae (n = 50) incubated with C14 at 28±2°C in the dark for 12 h, and then exposed to light (fluence rate 1.0–4.0 mW/cm2) for 1 or 6 h. After irradiation, larvae were kept in the dark and larval mortality was monitored daily for 6 days. Arithmetic means of % dead larvae. Error bars represent standard deviation (n = 3 replicates of 50 larvae each).
