Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the persistence of Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis (Bti) in a salt marsh mosquito breeding site after applying larvicides.
- Different larval biotopes were assessed, revealing that the abundance of Bacillus spp. varied more with the biotope type than with season or treatments, with higher concentrations found in soil compared to water and plants.
- After the larvicidal applications, Bti spores were initially detected but disappeared from soil and water within three months, although some spores persisted on plant foliage, indicating minimal long-term impact on the overall Bacillus spp. community.
