Larvicidal Activity and Midgut Histopathology of Bacillus thuringiensis Whole Cells and Spores Against Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) Larvae
Culex pipiens is a vector of several human pathogens, and the chemical control of its larvae is losing ground to insecticide resistance. This study measured the larvicidal activity of whole cells and spores of a local Bacillus thuringiensis isolate against third-instar Cx. pipiens larvae and described the damage they c...
