| Abstract | ||||
| The present study evaluated the toxicity of different bacterial strains isolated from the outer surface of adult flies associated with carrions at Al – Mansoureya, Giza Governorate, Egypt against Culex pipiens larvae. 11 different bacterial strains were isolated and identified from the adults of Musca domestica, Chrysomya albiceps and Lucilia sericata. Only five strains caused mortality in C. pipiens larvae more than 50 %. The highest larval mortality was caused by the bacterial strains; Klebsiella oxytoca and Staphylococcus sciuri. The results indicated that entomopathogenic bacterial strains could have the potential for the biological control of mosquitoes. | ||||
