棒孢灭蚊霉Culicinomycwe clavosporus Couch,Romney & Rao是Couch等1974年才建立的属和种,该菌在美国寄生于四斑按蚊Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say,在澳大利亚寄生于另一种按蚊A.amictushilli Woodhill and Lee(Sweeney et al.,1973);(Cooper & Sweeney,1982)。由于C.clavosporus能在人工培养基上生长和产生大量分生孢子并能保存较长时间;对人、畜的安全性方面,曾用此菌对老鼠、天竺鼠、绵羊、牛和两种野鸭进行试验,对健康均无任何影响,也没有血液和生化方面的变化,解剖观察亦未 Culicinomycoc clavosporus Couch, Romney & Rao is a genus and species established only in Couch et al. In 1974. The bacterium is parasitic in Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say in the United States and parasites in another An. Amictushilli Woodhill and Lee (Sweeney et al., 1973); (Cooper & Sweeney, 1982). Because C. clavus can grow on artificial medium and produce a large number of conidia and can be stored for a long time; for human and livestock safety, this strain has been used for mice, guinea pigs, sheep, cattle and two wild ducks Test, no effect on health, nor blood and biochemical changes, anatomical observation nor
