Methods and compositions for the control of pests of the family Calliphoridae are described. Specifically, Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) isolates having anti-calliphorid activity are disclosed. Also described are recombinant hosts which express B.t. genes coding for pesticidal toxins. The B.t. isolates and recombinant proteins are shown to be useful in a method for controlling calliphorids including screw-worms and the sheep blowfly.

Methods and compositions for the control of lice are described. Specifically, Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) isolates having anti-lice activity are disclosed. Also described are recombinant hosts which express B.t. genes coding for pesticidal toxins. The B.t. isolates and recombinant proteins are shown to be useful in a method for controlling lice including the sheep louse.

Bacillus thuringiensis isolates active against phthiraptera pests

Methods and compositions for the control of flukes are described. Specifically, Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) isolates having flukicidal activity are disclosed. Also described are recombinant hosts which express B.t. genes coding for flukicidal toxins. The B.t. isolates and recombinant proteins are shown to be useful in a method for controlling flukes including the liver fluke.

The subject invention concerns the use of a novel and useful bioinsecticide against the lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus). The lesser mealworm is a devastating pest in the poultry industry. The bioinsecticide of the subject invention is a novel B. thuringiensis microbe referred to as B.t. PS122D3, or mutants thereof. The spores or toxin crystals of this microbe are useful to control the lesser mealworm in various environments.
