Abstract:
Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (B.t. H-14) was mixed with minced liver in different concentrations and given to newly moulted third stage larvae of Lucilia sericata. The LC50 was 9 ppm (0.76-1.5) and the slope function was 0.59. This bacterium which is safe and friendly proved to be effective against the myiasis producing L. sericata larvae.
