Abstract
Microbial control of vectors has recently come much closer to practical reality. Several species of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nemuiodes are nearly ready for field use, while others have already proven effective in reducing vector populations. One bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, is now commercially available and is being widely tested in mosquito and black lly control programs. This review highlights the organisms presently seen as potentially useful in integrated vector control programs.Keywords
