Dynamics of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis and Lysinibacillus sphaericus Spores in Urban Catch Basins after Simultaneous Application against Mosquito Larvae
Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) and Lysinibacillus sphaericus (Lsph) are extensively used in mosquito control programs. These biocides are the active ingredients of a commercial larvicide. Quantitative data on the fate of both Bti and Lsph applied together for the control of mosquitoes in urban drainage structures such as catch basins are lacking. We evaluated the dynamics and per...
متن کاملComparison between diflubenzuron and a Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis- and Lysinibacillus sphaericus-based formulation for the control of mosquito larvae in urban catch basins in Switzerland.
A field test was conducted to evaluate a commercial biolarvicide based on Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis and Lysinibacillus sphaericus to control mosquitoes breeding in catch basins in southern Switzerland. The efficacy and residual activity of the microbial mosquito larvicide applied at the recommended rate of 10 g per catch basin was compared to the currently used larvicide diflubenz...
متن کاملBacterial control of mosquito larvae: investigation of stability of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis and Bacillus sphaericus standard powders.
Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis and Bacillus sphaericus products were assayed against their respective reference powders IPS82 and SPH88. Since their production in 1982 and 1988, the potency and larvicidal activity of these standard powders have been regularly checked on their test insects Aedes aegypti (for IPS82) or Culex pipiens (for SPH88). Over the 16-year evaluation period of IPS8...
متن کاملBiological Control of Mosquito Larvae by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis
Chemical insecticides provide many benefits to food production and human health and has proven very effective at increasing agriculture and forestry productivities. However, they also pose some hazards as contamination of water and food sources, poisoning of non-target fauna and flora, concentration in the food chain and selection of insect pest populations resistent to the chemical insecticide...
متن کاملEfficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, Bacillus sphaericus and temephos for managing Anopheles larvae in Eritrea.
We evaluated the larvicidal activity of the granular formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) serotype H-14 (Vectobac G, 200 ITU/mg) and Bacillus sphaericus (Bsph) serotype H5a5b (Vectolex CG, 670 Bs ITU/mg) against Anopheles arabiensis and other mosquitoes in breeding habitats in 3 sites, Gash-Barka, Anseba, and Debub zones, in Eritrea. The primary objective was to determine the...
