Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus species are symbiotic bacteria of the insect-pathogenic soil nematodes that produce insecticidal compounds lethal to prey insects. Recently, there has been much interest in adapting these insecticidals for mosquito control. Here, I advocate the potential of Xenorhabdus/Photorhabdus as natural sources of mosquitocides (larvicides, adulticides) and feeding-deterrents.

共生细菌作为潜在的灭蚊剂。

Xenorhabdus和Photorhabdus物种是昆虫致病土壤线虫的共生细菌，可产生对捕食性昆虫致命的杀虫化合物。最近，人们非常感兴趣地将这些杀虫剂用于蚊子控制。在这里，我提倡Xenorhabdus / Photorhabdus作为灭蚊剂（杀幼虫剂，杀成虫剂）和摄食威慑剂的天然来源的潜力。
