| Abstract: | Polyhedra ofSpilosoma imparilis nucleopolyhedrovirus (SiNPV) were administered per os toSpilosoma imparilis (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) larvae with and without the spindles of an entomopoxvirus fromAnomala cuprea (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). It was found that the addition of the spindles to the inoculum (the polyhedra) strongly enhanced
the infection of SiNPV in 5th and 6th instar larvae; the enhancement degree was estimated to be several thousand-fold in 6th
instar larvae. |
