Summary: The fungi present in the aquatic habitats of mosquito larvae may provide the appropriate means to develop and implement biological control measures against malaria vectors [21–23], however, few mosquito-fungi interactions have been characterized. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the diversity of cultivable fungi present in the aquatic habitats of Anopheles darlingi larvae in two malaria-endemic municipalities in the state of Amazonas, and to fill a considerable gap in knowledge of the fungi present in the breeding sites of this important malaria vector.
