Toxicity of a Brevibacillus laterosporus strain lacking parasporal crystals against Musca domestica and Aedes aegypti

The pathogenicity potential of Brevibacillus laterosporus against insects of various orders has been demonstrated and the results of recent research raise the possibility that novel strains and toxins against new insect targets may be isolated. This study investigates the toxicity of different fractions of an acrystalliferous B. laterosporus strain already known to be toxic to the housefly, against both Musca domestica and Aedes aegypti.
