  abstract = {{T}wo strategies were tested to control #{C}ulex quinquefasciatus$ with #{B}acillus sphaericus$ in {M}aroua (population 130,000), {C}ameroon. {T}he treatment of all potential breeding sites (27,000) with #{B}. sphaericus$ during the dry season caused up to a 90% reduction in the adult biting rate. {B}ecause of the short persistence of #{B}. sphaericus$ and the occurence of new breeding sites, unacceptable levels of adult biting rates were reached again in 5 months. {I}n the second strategy, two treatments per year of the most productive breeding sites (10,000) stopped the biting rate increase during the rainy season. {T}he results were only partially successful because of variations in #{B}. sphaericus$ toxicity. {T}he first treatment required 1,200 man-days of work vs. 200 for the simplified treatments. {T}he density of breeding sites depends on the rainfall and the presence of a tap-water network. {A} sustained control program of #{C}x quinquefasciatus$ will depend upon the dynamics of the principal breeding sites and an improved formulation of #{B}. sphaericus$.
