Mammalian toxicity tests were carried out on mice and guinea-pigs with Bacillus sphaericus isolate numbered 3302109 isolated from the Icel region of Turkey. Test animals were injected by various routes, including subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intravenous, and percutaneous. Also ingestion, inhalation and eye irritation tests were carried out using stock suspension of 2X108 bacteria per/ml for each inoculation. None of the animals showed any evidence of illness, and their behavior, growth and average organ weights were normal. Keywords: Safety tests, biological control, Bacillus sphaericus.
