Abstract
Abstract. Aedes aegypti Linnaeus is a vector of viral diseases such as yellow fever, classical and haemorrhagic Dengue fever, Chikungunya, and Zika fever that was declared an international health emergency by the WHO in the summer of 2016. An alternative for larval control is use of microbial insecticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti). In this work were prepared three formulations based on this bacterium using biodegradable polymers such as pectin, acacia gum, and mixtures of them tested in a laboratory against two third-instar Ae. aegypti larval populations and compared with a commercial product. The results showed 71-72% of the sensitive New Orleans Aedes aegypti strain were dead the first day post-application, by Bti-acacia gum (F2 Bti-Gac) and Bti-acacia gum-pectin (F3 Bti-G-Pec) formulations, while commercial formulation Bactimos® Briquets (F5 Bac) killed significantly the most (91.18%). For Day 7 post-application, formulations of acacia gum (F2 Bti-Gac) and Bti-acacia gum-pectin (F3 Bti-G-Pec) and Bactimos® Briquets (F5 Bac) killed significantly similar numbers of mosquitoes, about 80%, while the two pectin formulations, recent (F1 Bti-Pec) and old (F4 Bti-Pec-Ant), killed only 33-34%.

期刊介绍:
Manuscripts submitted for consideration for publication in the Southwestern Entomologist should report results of entomological research in the southwestern United States or Mexico or should report results of studies on entomological species, relevant to this region, which may be done elsewhere, provided such results are geographically applicable. Manuscripts that report results of routine laboratory or field experiments for which the primary purpose is gathering baseline data or those that report results of a continuous evaluation program such as preliminary pesticide evaluation experiments, species lists with no supporting biological data, or preliminary plant resistance evaluations are not acceptable. However, reports of experiments with insecticides, acaricides, and microbials are acceptable if they are comprehensive and include data related to economics, resistance, toxicology, or other broad subject areas. Bibliographies will not be published in Southwestern Entomologist.
