“…This may account for the decrease in insecticidal activity of B. thuringiensis against different insect species reported earlier by several authors using different antibiotics. For example, chlorotetracycline hydrochloride (Aureomycin) in sixth-instar Pseudaletia unipuncta larvae (Somerville et al, 1970) and 4-day-old larvae of Trichoplusia ni, H. virescens and Ostrinia nubilalis (Beegle et al, 1981), oxytetracycline hydrochloride (Terramycin) in D. melanogaster (Benz & Graf, 1971) and dihydrostreptomycin in T. ni larvae (Ignoffo et al, 1977).…”

Abstract. The effects of different abiotic agents that may modulate the activity of an insect's immune system are reviewed. These agents include insecticides, chitin synthesis inhibitors, juvenile hormone analogues, inert particles, antibiotics, heavy metals, radiation and miscellaneous substances. The significance of studying immunomodulation in insects treated with abiotic agents in relation to both insect control and insect-borne parasitic diseases and the link between immunomodulation in insects post-treatment with both abiotic and biotic agents are discussed.
