Abstract: The entomophatogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis produces crystal proteins, named Cry proteins which are encoded by the cry genes. This bacterium is used on biological control of important economical pests, as well as in the control of disease´s vectors, such as Aedes aegypti, a mosquito that transmits the dengue viruses. Isolates of this bacterium can be characterized by the content of cry genes and this prediction helps target different insect orders. In this research, we isolated 76 colonies of… Show more

“…This combination of toxins is highly lethal for different species of mosquitoes, and is reported to act in synergism in mosquito larvae of medical importance (Pérez et al, 2005). Cry4A and Cry4B proteins are widely reported in isolates that exhibit toxic activity against mosquito vectors, but Cry4Ba is highly toxic to Aedes larvae, while Cry4Aa is less toxic (Beltrão and Silva-Filha, 2007;Campanini et al, 2012).…”

“…The biological control is a sustainable alternative to reduce the vector population indexes (Huang et al, 2017). The Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner, 1911) is an important insects' pathogen and exhibits high toxicity for diptera larvae (Campanini et al, 2012;Soares-da-Silva et al, 2017;Lobo et al, 2018;Zghal et al, 2018;Viana et al, 2020).…”
