Study on infection of Ostrinia furnacalis with Some Insect Viruses
Abstract: The larvae of Ostrinia furnacalis are susceptible to the infection with the nuclear polyhedrosis virus of Plusia agnata(PaNPV), the Antheraea pernyi NPV (ApNPV)and the cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus of Dendrolimus spectabilis(DsCPV). The ID_50 for the 1st instar larvae infected with DsCPV is 5.9×10~5PIB/ml diet. The DsCPV infection has a significant effect on larvae development, pupal weight, emergence percentage and adult longevity. While the DsCPV is propagating with the larvae of Ostrinia furnacalis, the...
