Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Bacillus thuringiensis H - 14 ( Bt . H - 14 ) Granule Formulation ∗ Against Aedes aegypti in Delhi , India
نویسنده
چکیده
Laboratory and field evaluations of Bt.H-14 granule formulation were carried out against Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and dengue haemmorhagic fever in Delhi, India. The results of laboratory evaluation revealed 100% mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae @ 0.5 gm/m2 within 24 hours of exposure in enamel trays. The field evaluation revealed that biolarvicide @ 0.5 gm/m2 provided an effective control of this species for more than four weeks in evaporation coolers and disused tyres.

Efficacy and field evaluation of Bacillus thuringiensis (H-14) and B. sphaericus against floodwater mosquitoes in California.
The microbial control agents Bacillus thuringiensis (H-14) and B. sphaericus were evaluated in laboratory and field against Psorophora columbiae. Bacillus sphaericus strain 2362 was also tested in the field against Aedes melanimon. Psorophora columbiae was slightly more susceptible than Culex quinquefasciatus to active strains of B. sphaericus. The LC90 for active strains ranged from 0.013 to 0...

Background: Anopheles stephensi is considered to be the main malaria vector in the Middle East area including Iran. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a granule 10% formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis against this species under laboratory and semi-field conditions in an endemic malarious area of Iran. Method: After collecting mosquitos ...
متن کاملMethod for determining settling rates of Bacillus thuringiensis serotype H-14 formulations.
A water-column apparatus is described in which settling rates of Bacillus thuringiensis serotype H-14 [B.t. (H-14)] formulations can be indirectly quantified using mortality of mosquito larvae at restricted depths as an index of B.t. (H-14) activity. To illustrate the type of data provided by this method, commercial B.t. (H-14) products (Bactimos, Teknar, Vectobac) and experimental formulations...
متن کاملEfficacy of two formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (H-14) against Aedes vexans and safety to non-target macroinvertebrates.
An experimental Sandoz formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (SAN 402 SC 98) was several times more effective than Abbott ABG 6188 against larvae of Aedes aegypti and Ae. vexans in the laboratory. Field applications of SAN 402 SC 98 at 0.25 liter/ha and ABG 6188 at 1.00 liter/ha resulted in more than 97% control of Ae. vexans larvae after 48 hours, with residual activity of 24 ...

BACKGROUND Trypsin Modulating Oostatic Factor (TMOF) terminates trypsin biosynthesis in adult and larval mosquito gut. It will inhibit the growth and development of mosquito larvae feeding on it resulting in death by starvation. The objective of this study is to determine the effective dose of Pichia-TMOF and the combination of Pichia-TMOF with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) as larvicide on Ae. ae...
