A flowable concentrate ofBacillus sphaericus(Neide) strain 2362 was applied againstAnopheles gambiaeGiless.l.mosquito larve in small plot field trials in Bobo‐Dioulasso area, Burkina‐Faso. Third and fourth instar larvae were controlled for 10–15 days with a dosage of 10 g/m2, 3–10 days with 1 or 0.1 mg/m2, and 2 days with 0.01 g/m2.Complete elimination of larval populations required lx102to 2times103viable spores/ml in the larval feeding zone.After treatment, the total numbers of viable spores decreased in the ponds, due to ingestion of spores by non‐target as well as target organisms and/or to loss of viability of some spores by sunlight. This formulation was less effective againstAn.gambiaehan againstCulex quinquefasciatusSay larvae, both in laboratory bioassays and under field conditions.
