[Sensitivity of larvae of the malaria mosquito Anopheles messae with various inversion genotypes to the entomopathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis as a function of dose].

Abstract excerpt

The influence of the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) on the chromosomal composition of a natural population of fourth instar larvae of the malaria mosquito (Anopheles messeae Fall.) was investigated. The two doses used in the experiment yielded different death rates. A dose of 6.17 micrograms Bti per 1 mg of host mass led to a death rate of 41.1 +/- 3.0%. The chromosomal...
