Nonsusceptibility of Lizards Exposed to the Entomopathogen Bacillus sphaericus

Abstract:
Tropical and subtropical lizards of the genus Anolis were exposed to Bacillus sphaericus Neide strain 1593-4, which has been proposed as a safe entomopathogen specific for mosquitoes. No deleterious effects were observed in lizards exposed to live bacteria through intraperitoneal injection or aerosol spray. Bacteria were lost quickly from lizard livers but were detectable at least 37 days after intraperitoneal injection.
