Abstract
The gene encoding the CryIVD protein of B. thuringiensis subsp. israel ensis crystals was disrupted by in vivo recombination. The toxicity of the CryIVD protein-free inclusions was similar to that of the wild-ty pe crystals on Anopheles stephensi larvae but was half the wild-type t oxicity on Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti larvae.
