Combined effect of local isolate Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrosis virus and Bacillus thuringiensis on Culex pipiens L. larvae (Culicidae: Diptera)

Combined effect of local isolate Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrosis virus and Bacillus thuringiensis on Culex pipiens L. larvae (Culicidae: Diptera)

A local isolate of Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrosis virus (SlNPV) showed pathogenicity against Culex pipiens larvae, its long incubation period was broken using a combination between SlNPV and Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Btk).
