[Comparative study of aerosol and oral methods of infection of Lympantria dispar L. caterpillars with nuclear polyhedrosis virus].
The aerosol and oral routes of infection of Gypsy moth larvae with nuclear polyhedrosis virus are compared. The virus in aerosol retains its biological activity. The virus output/expenditure ratio is virtually the same in the studied routes of infection. Aerosol method of inoculation saves 30% components of media and is 6-8 times less labor consuming. This method permits complete automation of infection of larvae, thus essentially improving the efficacy of baculovirus production.
