Title:
INACTIVATED MICROORGANISMS CONTAINING DOUBLE -STRAND RNA MOLECULES (DSRNA), THEIR USE AS PESTICIDES AND METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/036536
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new group of pesticides consisting of inactivated microorganisms containing double- strand RNA molecules (dsRNA), corresponding to receptor genes coupled with G proteins (GPCR) whose functioning is vital for phytophagous invertebrates (insects, mites and molluscs) or for infesting or in any case harmful organisms for the health of human beings and domestic animals, and to a method for the preparation of said microorganisms.
