Is cyt1Aa protein from Bacillus thuringiensis ( Berliner ) serovar israelensis active against the Mediterranean fruit fly , Ceratitis capitata ( Wiedemann )?
The present study provides evidence for the first time of the insecticidal activity of a B. thuringiensis strain against C. capitata and identifies a single delta-endotoxin with potential for controlling this pest.
