title: [Design of the composition of baculovirus agents].
abstract: The ability of 30 compounds to protect infection bacteria and baculoviruses from the damaging effect of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was investigated. For this B. thuringiensis var. israelensis spores and gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) nuclear polyhedrosis virus were mixed with different components and exposed to UV irradiation at 0.25 WI cm2 for 60 min. Then spore viability and viral pathogenicity were studied in third instar gypsy moth larvae. The composition comprising sodium alginate, albumin, and ascorbic acid ensured the most effective protection of the viruses and bacteria. These components were shown to provide protection from exposure to UV irradiation even at a low concentration. Their incorporation into biopesticides will assist in enhancing the efficiency of their use.
