chinensis strain CT-43 is highly toxic to lepidopterous and
dipterous insects. It forms various ICPs consisting of Cry1Aa3, Cry1Ba1, Cry1Ia14, Cry2Aa9, and Cry2Ab1 which is very toxic to diptarian insect (Jieping et al., 2011).
These
dipterous insects are potential mechanical vectors for etiological agents such as viruses, bacteria, protozoan cysts and helminth eggs (Greenberg, 1971; Marchiori, 2006).
Some
dipterous insects reared from narcissus bulbs.
As entomopathogens, some Fusarium species have been reported to cause moderate to high levels of infection, principally against homopterous and
dipterous insects.
feltiae is especially effective against immature
dipterous insects, including mushroom flies, fungus gnats, and tipulids as well some lepidopterous larvae (Grewal et al., 2005).
