[Inversion polymorphism in malaria mosquito Anopheles messeae. Part X. Resistance of larvae with different genotypes to toxins of crystal-forming bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (serovar H14)].

Abstract excerpt

Insensibility of larvae with different chromosomal inversions to the toxins of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) was examined. It has been shown that larvae with inversion combinations XL0(XL1)2R0-3R0-3L0 had greater variability after treatment with Bti than larvae with inversions XL1(XL2)2R1-3R1-3L1(3L0). The former inversion combinations were previously shown to dominate in the south of the...
