摘要
Screening for spore-forming bacteria to use against dipterous insects, namely Musca domestica, Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens from Egypt, led to two isolates, M1 and S128, being found which were highly toxic to both Aedes and Culex strains. They had calculated international Toxicity Units (ITU) valdes of 17,467 and 20,065 ITU/mg, respectively, as compared with 15,000 ITU/mg for Bacillus thuringlensis H-14 IPS-82 Reference Standard. They were taxonomically classilled as Bacllus thuringlensis H-14. Their sensitivity to a number of Bacillus phages is also described. © 1990 Rapid Communications of Oxford Ltd.
