Investigations on the inheritance and mechanism of resistance to Bacillus sphaericus Neide in Culex quinquefasciatus Say colonies, selected with strains C3-41 (RLCq1/C3-41) and 2362 (CqRL1/2362),...
A Strain of Bacillus sphaericus Causes Slower Development of Resistance in Culex quinquefasciatus
Pei, Guofeng, Oliveira, Cláudia M. F., Yuan, Zhiming, Nielsen-LeRoux, Christina, Silva-Filha, Maria Helena, Yan, Jianpin, ...
Two field-collected Culex quinquefasciatus colonies were subjected to selection pressure by three strains of Bacillus sphaericus, C3-41, 2362, and IAB59, under laboratory conditions. After 13 and 18...
