[Pathological changes in fleas caused by the action of Bacillus thuringiensis exotoxin].
Pathogenic effect of the crystalline exotoxine of Bacillus thuringiensis on the larvae of fleas was investigated. Deformities and changes in the functions of organs and tissues caused by the exotoxin in larvae and imago developed from the latter result in the premature death of the individuals (to 100%) or in the sterility of the remaining fleas.
