Pathogenicity and characteristics of spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus from Peninsular Malaysia
A study on the characteristics of the Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhredovirus (SpltNPV) was carned out. The result shows that the virus was pathogenic and specific to its host, S. litura larva. It caused 96% larval mortality within a period of 10 days at a dosage of 6 x 1(jS PIBs/larva and did not...

| Summary: | A study on the characteristics of the Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhredovirus (SpltNPV) was carned out. The
result shows that the virus was pathogenic and specific to its host, S. litura larva. It caused 96% larval mortality
within a period of 10 days at a dosage of 6 x 1(jS PIBs/larva and did not affect lepidopteran larvae, Spirama
retorta Clerck (Noctuidae) and bagworm, Pteroma pendulaJoannis (Psychidae). The polyhedra, varied in their
shape, contained many virions with more than one nucleocapsid in a virion. |
