The Compatibility of Spindor Dust with Poecilia reticulata for Integrated Mosquito Larviciding

Background: The compatibility of spindor dust (spinosad), a bio-rational larvicide derived from the fermentation of a soil bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa, was investigated on the mosquito fish, Poecilia reticulata, and larvae of both Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. Methods: Three replicates of each to different concentrations of spinosad dust under static bioassay were performed to determine the acute toxicity...
