Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis is the leading biopesticide in world due to its specificity and lack of toxicity. The use Bti still restricted developing countries bioprocess complications high cost production. In present study we have shown that lignocellulosic agro waste residues like rice straw can be used as effective substrates with appropriate chemical treatment methods. We comp...

Mosquito vector transmit serious infectious diseases that include dengue, chikungunya, malaria, filariasis, leishmaniasis, Japanese encephalitis, west Nile fever, yellow fever and rift valley fever. Insecticides-based control measures have historically currently been an important approach against major mosquito-borne diseases. Chemical pesticides, on the other hand, are non-selective can harm b...

In this study, the biological control activities of bacteria strains, which have been isolated from volcanic, sandy, salty soils and Ebu Cehil plant Calligonum polygonoides L. subsp. comosum (L’Hér.) were investigated against isolates Rhizoctonia solani causing root rot in beans. As result isolation, 83 strains obtained identified by biochemical tests fatty acid methyl esterase analyses. vitro ...

Tackling the aquatic stages of anopheline malaria vectors is a key element in integrated vector management (IVM) programmes. The first large trials with Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) as novel biological control agent demonstrated that its impact can be highly effective, but context dependent. To better understand this dependency, there need to answer fundamental questions on mos...

Vector control programs worldwide are facing the challenge of mosquitoes becoming resistant to available insecticides. Larviciding is a crucial preventative measure for dengue but data on insecticide resistance larval Aedes aegypti in Middle East Region limited. This study assesses susceptibility status Ae. collected from two most important foci Saudi Arabia, Jeddah and Makkah, chemical biologi...
