Dimensions of particles of the nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) from Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner to Bombyx mori L Determinacao ao microscópio eletrónico das dimensoes das particulas do virus da poliedrose nuclear de Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner em Bombyx mori L
Abstract
A nuclearpolyhedrosis in caterpillars of A. gemmatalis was transmitted to the silkworm, B. mori. This might explain the occurrence of nuclear polyhedrosis in useful insects, acquired from other insects.
An examination of the infected material by the electron microscope revealed the presence of particles of the virus (NPV], both in the nuclear polyhedra and the nucleoplasm of the midgut. Statistical analysis of length and width of the NPV particles for both B. mori and A. Gemmatalis indicated that they are wider in B. mori than in A. gemmatalis.
NPV particles in B. mori nucleoplasm were longer and wider than those found in the polyhedra.
