The use of bacterial larvicides in mosquito and black fly control programmes in Brazil

The use of bacterial larvicides in mosquito and black fly control programmes in Brazil

Bacillus spp. based larvides are increasingly replacing, with numerous advantages, chemical insecticides in programmes for controlling black fly and mosquito populations. Brazil was among the pioneers in adopting Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (B.t.i) to control black flies. However, the major c...
