Effects of jaburetox-V5-loaded lyophilized E. coli on A. aegypti. Mosquito larvae, 25 per experimental condition, were fed fish diet soaked with a suspension of lyophilized E. coli cells containing 0 (control), 10 or 100 μg of JBTX, as quantified by ELISA. Controls with non-transformed E. coli were run in parallel. The larvae were kept at 28 ^oC with a photoperid of 8:16 (light:dark) and developmental stage and mortality were recorded daily up to day 6. The results are average of duplicates, and expressed as a percentage relative to the initial number of insects. Copyright by K. Kappaun [19]. Reprinted with permission
