Tests for insecticidal activity
Eggs of Bombyx mori were kindly provided by employees of the
National Scientific Center ”Institute of Experimental and Clinical
Veterinary Medicine” (Kharkiv, Ukraine). Spore-forming samples obtained
from fecal samples were tested for insecticidal activity againstBombyx mori andAedes mosquitoes. The Aedes larvae were withdrawn from the
population maintained in the laboratory. The testing was conducted using
the previously described methodology (Ahmed et al., 2017).
