Susceptibility of Simuliidae larvae (Diptera) to a new solid formulation based onBacillus thuringiensisvar.israelensis(Bti), and bioecological aspects of the breeding sites in Cascavel - Paraná, Brazil
Abstract:Due to the hematophagous habits of females, some species of black fly (Diptera, Simuliidae) are known to be responsible for economic losses and can cause significant damage to the health of human and livestock populations. To control populations of these insects, several bioinsecticides based on the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) are widely used. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the susceptibility of black fly larvae to a new Bti solid effervescent formulation, compar… Show more
