BIOCONTROL POTENTIAL OF BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS ISOLALED FROM SOIL SAMPLES AGAINST LARVA OF MOSQUITO

Abstract A major challenge for achieving successful mosquito control is overcoming insecticide resistance. Bacillus thuringiensis which is one of the most effective biolarvacide for control of species of mosquitoes and monitoring of larval susceptibility is essential to avoid resistance development. Mosquito larvacidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis was assessed by isolating them from ecologically different soil habitats in and around Enugu metropolis. The isolate organisms were confirmed as Bacillus thuringiensis based ...
