Biochemical and Functional Characterization of Parawixia bistriata Spider Venom with Potential Proteolytic and Larvicidal Activities
Figure 9
Larvicidal activity of the crude venom and chromatography fractions of Parawixia bistriata on Aedes aegypti. Concentrations of 5 to 15 μg/mL of the venom and its fractions were used against 3rd-4th instar Aedes aegypti (27°C, 70% relative humidity, and 12 h of photoperiod). Assays were performed in quadruplicate using a solution of 1% ethanol as a negative control (solid line). (a) Crude venom. (b) Fraction P1. (c) Fraction P2. (d) Fraction P3.
