Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Biocontrol activity of the entomopathogenic fungus Aspergillus niger against Anopheles stephensi, vector of malaria S. J.

Introduction Malaria disease is one the most important diseases caused by parasites in all over the world. ‘Mosquito control’ is the control of mosquito-borne diseases through the interruption of disease transmission by killing or preventing mosquitoes from biting humans. The aim was assessment of biocontrol activity of the Aspergillus niger against larvae and adult stages of Anopheles stephensi. Materials and Methods The spores of A.niger was released in rearing water at three dosages of 5 9 105, 109 105 and 15 9 105 spores and we assessed the application methods including topical application of spores on sucrose solution, free exposure to infected culture media and a combination of both. Fungi invasion both in larvae and adults stages was assessed using a three dimensional microscope and taking high resolution photos of them as well as preparation of 10% KOH wet mount from dead bodies followed preparation of tissue sections and staining with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Results Three dosages of 5 9 105, 109 105 and 15 9 105 spores respectively yielded 16.0%, 24.0% and 24.0% mortalities compared to 3% mortality in the control group; the differences were significant (P < 0.05). Adult emergence was 82.0%, 65.0% and 22.0% respectively at the above dosages compared to 97.0% of adult emergence in control group (P > 0.05). The survival rate of treated blood-fed mosquitoes was 10.0% in comparison of 66.0% in control group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Based on significant larvae mortality or reduction of adult longevity it is highly recommended to isolate the metabolites from local strain of A.niger which originated of A.dthali caught from south of Iran by Hashemi et al. during 2011. The efficacy of such metabolites should bee determined against malaria vectors at laboratory and field conditions. Disclosure Nothing to disclose

What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : Some investigators from the Netherland, India, Brasilia, Spain and China asked me some questions that I answered. My poster presentation was about bio control of Anophel by use of Aspergillus niger a kind of fungi that is a saprophytic an can be it find in air soil and the plants and this fungus can live in insect cuticle and growth and lead to death of Anophel.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : I visited Dr. Seyed Mojtaba Mousavi an Iranian mycologist that live and study in a hospital in Holland.
 
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : 1-The registration fee is very much
2-The international unit of Tehran University of medical sciences must to have a relation with congress management about onsite payment and taking a discount for it. Because in many times we pay the registration fee but we can’t obtain the visa. 
3- The international unit of Tehran University of medical sciences must to have a relation with embassy for taking the visa.
4- The international unit of Tehran University of medical sciences must to have a relation with congress management for some facilities such as hotel accommodation.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : The charge of trip is very much and the financial of the University is less and with pay attention to dollar fee the total charge for congress participation is high. Therefore we ask The international unit of Tehran University of medical sciences has a enough help to academic stuffs.
