Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus species are symbiotic bacteria of the insect-pathogenic soil nematodes that produce insecticidal compounds lethal to prey insects. Recently, there has been much interest in adapting these insecticidals for mosquito control. Here, I advocate the potential of Xenorhabdus/Photorhabdus as natural sources of mosquitocides (larvicides, adulticides) and feeding-deterrents.
异小杆线虫属和发光杆菌属是昆虫病原土壤线虫的共生细菌,它们产生对猎物昆虫致命的杀虫化合物。最近,人们对这些杀虫剂用于控制蚊子产生了浓厚的兴趣。在这里,我提倡将异小杆线虫属/发光杆菌属作为杀蚊剂(幼虫致死剂、成虫致死剂)和拒食剂的天然来源的潜力。
