Activity of Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxins against codling moth (Cydia pomonella L.) larvae

Histopathological effects and determination of the putative receptor of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Da toxin in Spodoptera littoralis midgut

“…Against Spodoptera exigua Cry1Da showed similar LC 50 (240 ng/cm 2 ) (Hernández-Martínez et al, 2008). Cry1Da has also been reported to be toxic against Cydia pomonella and A. ipsilon with LC 50 of 23 ng/g of diet (Boncheva et al, 2006) and 16 lg/cm 2 (de Maagd et al, 2003), respectively.…”

Characterisation of the secretome of the clam parasite, QPX

“…The only endotoxin N which has been characterised in the literature is derived from Bacillus thuringiensis; the toxin causes lysis of the epithelial cells of the gut of infected insects (Boncheva et al, 2006;Ito et al, 2006;Srinivasan, 2008). The presence of delta endotoxin in the QPX transcriptome might be a consequence of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from a prokaryotic donor.…”
