Abstract
Screening for spore-forming bacteria to use against dipterous insects, namelyMusca domestica, Aedes aegypti andCulex pipiens from Egypt, led to two isolates, M1 and S128, being found which were highly toxic to bothAedes andCulex strains. They had calculated international Toxicity Units (ITU) valdes of 17,467 and 20,065 ITU/mg, respectively, as compared with 15,000 ITU/mg forBacillus thuringlensis H-14 IPS-82 Reference Standard. They were taxonomically classilled asBacllus thuringlensis H-14. Their sensitivity to a number ofBacillus phages is also described. Le criblage pour des bactéries sporulantes à utiliser contre des insecles diptères, notammentMusea domestica, Aedes aegypti, etCulex pipiens d'Egypte, a conduit à deux isolats, M1 et S128, dont on a montré la forte toxicité tant pour des souches deAedes que deCulex. Elles avaient des valeurs calculées d'Unités Internationales de Toxicité (UIT) respectivement de 17 467 et de 20 065 UIT par mg, ce qu'il faut comparer aux 15 000 UIT par mg chezBacillus thurigiensis H-14, standard de référence IPS-82. On les a classifiées sur le plan taxonomique commeBacillus thurigiensis H-14. On décrit également leur sensibillté à un certain nombre de phages deBacillus.Keywords
