Abstract
A strain of Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV) was separated from the infected larva during the research of integrated pest management ofDendrolimus superans. The morphology, bioassay, histopathology and field-test for this CPV were studied. The size of CPV is 0.16 μm×1.57 μm and the virion is 16.0 nm×58.1 nm. The LC50 to the 3rd and 5th instar larva ofDendrolimus superans were 2.81×104 PIB/mL and 7.17×104 PIB/mL respectively. The polyhedrosis were formed after midgut of larva were infected for 72 h. A large amount of polyhedrosis was formed after 144 h. The mortality was more than 82% and average mortality was 84.62% when using 1.17×108 PIB/mL virus suspension to control the pest in field test.
