Response of gypsy moth larvae to homologous and heterologous nuclear polyhedrosis virus

Kathleen S. Shields, Edward M. Dougherty

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, is not particularly susceptible to baculoviruses other than the nuclear polyhedrosis virus originally isolated from the species (LdMNPV). The multiple enveloped nuclear polyhedrosis virus of Autographa californica (AcMNPV), a very virulent baculovirus that replicates in a large number of Lepidopteran species, only rarely produces mortality in gypsy moth larvae regardless of the dose ingested.
