Virulence of cloned variants of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus.

RESUMO
The relative virulence of five different genotypic variants of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus was tested by determining the 50% lethal dose of occluded virus for larvae of Trichoplusia ni. The 50% lethal dose values of uncloned virus and the five cloned genotypic variants ranged between 10 and 21 polyhedra per larva, and no statistically significant differences were observed. Cloning has therefore neither enhanced nor decreased the virulence of this potential microbial pesticide.
