Compositions and methods for the control of flukes

摘要

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.
