| Abstract |
Microbial pest control agents (MPCAs) are microorganisms that are applied to agricultural and silvacultural environments to control proliferation and dissemination of insect or plant pests. During a field application, it is likely that nontarget plants and animals are exposed to MPCAs. Following extensive experimentation, protocols were developed using oral, intravenous, and respiratory administration of the agent to two test species of birds (mallard and bobwhite). These protocols are suitably designed to demonstrate pathogenicity of microorganisms in the test bird species. The report summarizes the work completed during the developmeent and evaluation of these protocols. |
