Abstract At moderate concentration, 23 of 40 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis isolated from Sweden were toxic to Trichoplusia ni and five were toxic to Aedes aegypti. Five of the strains were toxic to Diabrotica undecimpunctata at high concentration, two were toxic to Heliothis virescens at low concentration and five produced thuringiensin (formerly called β-exotoxin). No strain was toxic towards the beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua at low concentration. Twenty-three of the strains produced a B. cereus-diarrhoeal-type enterotoxin.
