Abstract
- The article discusses a study in India that tested the effectiveness of bacterial agents Bacillus cereus CWBI-B1082, Bacillus weihenstephanensis WSBC and Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 against the larvae of Culicoides spp. It cites the isolation of the bio-control agents (BCA) from the flies' natural breeding sites and the results of their in-vivo and in-vitro trials. It also notes the BCAs' characteristics and their efficacy in reducing the larval count from drainage channel.
