Bacillus thuringiensis var. Israelensis

• Isolated first time in 1976 in Israel
• Spore-crystal of Bti contain toxic proteins (protoxins)

Bacticide

• Bacticide WP (Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis

Serotype H-14, Strain: 164) is a target specific Biological larvicide used for the control of larval stages

• f various species of mosquitoes on water surface of

any habitat.

• CIB-RC (Central Insecticide Board Registration

Committee Plant Protection & Quarintine under Ministry

• f Agricuture) Granted Permanent/Regular registration

u/s 9(3) in year 2000. ( http://www.cibrc.nic.in )

• Approved field application dosage against various

mosquitoes species in different habitats is 2 kg – 5 Kg per hectare on a weekly or fortnightly in clean and polluted waters.

• Potency

5380 IU/mg. Min. on Aedes aegypti 5370 IU/mg. Min. on Anopheles culicifacies 5450 IU/mg. Min. on Anopheles Stephensi 5440 IU/mg. Min. on Culex quinqefasciatus

• Composition

Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis Spores 5-8 % w/w Delta Endotoxin (Active Ingredient) 5-8 % w/w Adjuvants 84-90 % w/w

• Bacticide

can control vectors like Aedes, Anopheles, Culex, Simuliidae (Black Fly), Nuisance Mosquito and the diseases caused by them including, Japanese Encephalitis, Malaria, Filaria, Dengue, Chikunguniya and Onchocerciasis (river blindness).

• Being target specific Bacticide does not harm

Gambusia and Guppy fishes and

• ther

friendly predators and parasites.

• Bacticide is in the form of wettable powder and can

be stored up to 45°C with a shelf life of two years.

• Bacticide conforms to the new CIB guidelines also.

Target Specific Mode Of Action

• Manufacturer approaches NVBDCP for incorporation of their

product in the program.

• The information received of the product is submitted to

NVBDCP Expert Group on Vector Control constituted under DGHS.

• The Expert Group examine various issues like usefulness of the

larvicide in the program , dosage and frequency of application, registration with CIB, human safety and effect on non target

• rganisms.
• If Expert Group is satisfied the product is then recommended

for multi centric field trials using standard protocol “ Protocols for Uniform Evaluation of Insecticides for use in Vector Control”

Inclusion of Larvicides in Public Health Programs Under NVBDCP

• The trials are done in three phases and for biolarvicides

Phase I – 2 Months ; Phase II – 3 Months ; Phase III – 6 Months

• Detailed data on field trials is submitted and examined by Expert

Group for its recommendation to Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

• The findings of the trials are deliberated in the TAC under DGHS,

MOH&FW for its approval.

• Such TAC decisions are taken up by NVBDCP after the approval
• f MOH&FW for application.
• Before procurement of products the specifications are approved by

Technical Committee headed by Additional Director General, Directorate General of Health Services.
