[The relationship of the larval behavioral traits of the malarial mosquito Anopheles messeae (Diptera: Culicidae) to its sensitivity to the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis].

Abstract excerpt

Behavioural actions of the malarial mosquito Anopheles messeae larvae and their correlations with the susceptibility to the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) were studied. The larvae were differentiated according to their feeding mode ("filter-feeders" and "scraper-feeders") and to their avoidance reaction on a concussion of water surface by water drops ("divers" and "undivers")....
