<title>EFFECT OF OUTER MEMBRANE VESICLE PROTEINS OF XENORHABDUS BACTERIA AGAINST MALARIAL VECTORS </title>
<abstract>Native  lessThan i greaterThan Xenorhabdus lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan Sp lessThan /i greaterThan  was isolated from the Entomopathogenic Nematodes  lessThan i greaterThan Steinernema lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan Sp lessThan /i greaterThan  used as a biopesticide for the control of malarial vectors. The  lessThan i greaterThan Xenorhabdus  lessThan /i greaterThan bacterium which is symbiotically associated with  lessThan i greaterThan Steinernema Sp lessThan /i greaterThan  has a wider range of toxic proteins lessThan i greaterThan   lessThan /i greaterThan secreted in the medium. Most of the protein secreted by the bacteria are extra cellular proteins of the Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) of this gram negative bacteria plays an important role in killing the host larvae. The molecular weight of the OMV proteins of the isolates of  lessThan i greaterThan Xenorhabdus Sp  lessThan /i greaterThan ranges from 20-97 KDa. This bacterium is proved to be an insect pathogen with an excellent source of insecticidal agents of proven toxicity. The outer membrane vesicles of this bacteria act as natural bombs by transporting virulence factors into the host. The novel approach of our present study includes the biopesticidal approach of the OMVs proteins from the isolated strains of  lessThan i greaterThan Xenorhabdus lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan Sp lessThan /i greaterThan  from the sugarcane fields in Tamilnadu against third instar  lessThan i greaterThan Anopheles gambiae lessThan /i greaterThan  mosquito larvae, which transmits  lessThan i greaterThan Plasmodium lessThan /i greaterThan  causes a major infectious disease called Malaria.100 ng/ml of OMV protein treated against the larvae recorded maximum mortality (93.32%) with the isolates XBS21 and XNHS 12 (76%). This was the first report showing the biopesticidal property of the OMV proteins of the isolates of  lessThan i greaterThan Xenorhabdus lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan Sp lessThan /i greaterThan  against the malarial vectors.</abstract>
