Mosquitoes and their Control
Norbert Becker,Dušan Petrić,Marija Zgomba,Clive Boase,Minoo B. Madon,Christine Dahl,Achim Kaiser +6 more
TL;DR: The key to Female Mosquitoes, key to Male Mosquito Fourth Instar Larvae, and Identification Keys, Morphology, Ecology and Distribution of Important Vector and Nuisance Species are revealed.

Insect Pathogens as Biological Control Agents: Do They Have a Future?
TL;DR: Embedded entomopathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protozoa as inundatively applied microbial control agents can be effective and serve as alternatives to broad-spectrum chemical insecticides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entomopathogenic fungi for mosquito control: A review
TL;DR: It is argued that entomopathogenic fungi, both new and existing ones with renewed/improved efficacies may contribute to an expansion of the limited arsenal of effective mosquito control tools, and that they may contribute in a significant and sustainable manner to the control of vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and filariasis.

Bacillus thuringiensis as a Specific, Safe, and Effective Tool for Insect Pest Control
TL;DR: Bacillus thuringiensis was originally considered a risk for silkworm rearing but it has become the heart of microbial insect control and the development of Bt transgenic plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current models of the mode of action of Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal proteins: A critical review
TL;DR: It is concluded that the presently available information still supports the notion that Bt Cry toxins act by forming pores, but most events leading to their formation, following binding of the activated toxins to their receptors, remain relatively poorly understood.

Bacillus sphaericus Neide as a pathogen of mosquitoes.
William R. Kellen,Truman B. Clark,James E. Lindegren,Beng C. Ho,Martin H. Rogoff,Samuel Singer +5 more
TL;DR: A strain of Bacillus sphaericus Neide was isolated from moribund fourth-instar larvae of Culiseta incidens (Thomson) collected near Fresno, California, and is facultatively parasitic to mosquitoes in laboratory tests.

Efficacy and Persistence of Bacillus sphaericus and B. thuringiensis H. 14 Against Mosquitoes Under Laboratory and Field Conditions
TL;DR: Bacillus sphaericus Neide, strain 1593–4, and B. thuringiensis Berliner serotype H.14 de Barjac were less active in raw and autoclaved sewage effluent than in tap water, and reduction of activity in polluted waters was caused by the suspended solids fraction of the effluent.

Growth, sporulation and larvicidal activity of Bacillus sphaericus
TL;DR: Study of both strains asporulated mutants showed a decrease in larvicidal power, and after plasmid curing treatments, toxicity of strain 1593-4 did not decrease, neither toxic parasporal inclusion bodies of strain 2297 disappear.

A mosquito-virulent Bacillus sphaericus in adult Simulium damnosum from northern Nigeria.
TL;DR: From newly emerged adult Simulium damnosum from Kaduna River, Northern Nigeria, a mosquito-virulent strain of Bacillus sphaericus was isolated and was less virulent for Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti.

Fate of Bacillus sphaericus 1593 and 2362 spores used as larvicides in the aquatic environment.
TL;DR: Dry powders produced from insecticidal Bacillus sphaericus strains 1593 and 2362 were applied against Culex tarsalis and Anopheles franciscanus mosquito larvae in small-plot field trials, showing an increase of 100- to 1,000-fold in spore numbers.
