Abstract
The Bacillus laterosporus strains 921 and 615 were shown to have toxic ity for larvae of the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi, a nd Culex pipiens. The larvicidal activity of B. laterosporus was assoc iated with spores and crystalline inclusions. Purified B. laterosporus 615 crystals were highly toxic for Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephe nsi.
