Abstract
The pathogenicity of the bacterium Bacillus sphaericus (Meyer and Neide) against the dry wood termites Kalotermes flavicollis (Fabr.) and Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) has been studied. This is the first record of this microbial agent in Egypt, and was isolated from the termite K. flavicollis. The results indicated that the nymphs of K. flavicollis were more susceptible to B. sphaericus than the nymphs of C. brevis. The percentages of mortality were 87.5% and 65% for both species. respectively fourteen days using the highest tested concentration of B. sphaericus.
