Using the Bio-Insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis in Mosquito Control
Mosquito control is a major public health concern, as mosquitoes transmit many severe human diseases such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile virus and the chikungunya virus. These diseases represent a major health threat and economic burden in disease-endemic countries, and are currently in expansion due to increased worldwide exchanges, urbanization, and global warming. Th...
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 کاملProduction of wetland Chironomidae (Diptera) and the effects of using Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis for mosquito control.
Massive mosquito nuisance problems, caused by the flood-water mosquito Aedes sticticus, occur after floods in the flood plains of the River Dalälven, central Sweden. Since 2002, the biological mosquito larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) has been used to control these mosquitoes. Here, we report results from the first six years of monitoring Chironomidae, the most susceptibl...

متن کاملMicro-lipid-droplet encapsulation of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis delta-endotoxin for control of mosquito larvae.
The crystal delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis is less toxic to larvae of Anopheles freeborni than to larvae of Aedes aegypti. However, when solubilized crystal was used, larvae from both species showed similar sensitivities. This effect presumably was due to the differences in feeding behavior between the two mosquito larvae when crystal preparations are used. A proce...
