Abstract

|
Current overseas research reveals that among the pathogens causing flacherie of silkworm, damage by infectious flacherie virus is the most serious, but little research in this fold has been reported in Korea. This experiment was undertaken to observe the occurrence of infectious flacherie virus by means of biological environmental conditions associated with occurrence of virus discase and interaction of the virus of flacherie and Bacillus spp. isolated from flacherie silkworm, and to determine ways to check infection by the virus during the rearing of silkworms. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The pathogen, infectious flacherie virus observed in Korea, is proved to be round in shape and 26-30m in diameter under observation with electron microscope, 2. The infectious flacherie virus-disease occurred apparently in conditions of nutritional disturbance such as shortage of diet or rearing in high temperature and humidity during the 3-4th instar. 3. The percentage of disease-occurrence was increased remarkably, and the latent period was shortened in the case of simple inoculation of virus suspension as compared with the suspension added with bacteria. 4. The application of calcium hydroxide in the silkworm-rearing bed is able to check infection of virus disease.
