Cross‐resistance between strains of <i>Bacillus sphaericus</i> but not <i>B. thuringiensis</i> <i>israelensis</i> in colonies of the mosquito <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i>

Abstract excerpt

Two colonies of Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) were selected with Bacillus sphaericus strains C3-41 and IAB59 in the laboratory for 13 and 18 generations; they attained 145,000- and 48.3-fold resistance, respectively, in comparison with a susceptible laboratory colony (SLCq) and showed very high levels of cross-resistance (8500- to 145,000-fold) to B. sphaericus strains C3-41, 1593, 2297 and...
