Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolates from Maranhão (BtMA) that are toxic to Aedes aegypti larvae, using rep-PCR techniques with various genetic markers to assess genetic diversity.
- The rep-PCR analysis identified 38 genetic variations and revealed eight distinct groups, indicating significant genetic diversity among 30 BtMA isolates.
- Despite the genetic diversity, the study found a low correlation between the collection site and the effectiveness in killing A. aegypti larvae, suggesting that BtMA isolates could be effective alternatives for controlling this mosquito and other harmful pests.
