[The effect of Culex family mosquito larva on the sensitivity of Anopheles mosquitos with various karyotypes to the entomopathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Israelensis].

Culex (C. modestus) and Anopheles (A. beklemishevi and A. messeae) larvae mosquito were treated with Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) bacterium together and separately. It was determined that the presence of C. modestus reduced the mortality of Anopheles larvae and altered the results of the selection of genotypes resistant to Bti of the polymorphic species of A. messeae, C. modestus larvae consumed the pathogen more rapidly and protected the sensitive individuals of A. messeae with "northern" chromosomal inversions from destruction. The correlation of the selection of cohabiting Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes as well as the relation between the specific diversity and the stability of communities are discussed.
