The virus was found to be pathogenic to the larvae of <em>Heliothis zea</em> and of <em>S. frugiperda</em> but nonpathogenic to those of <em>Diatraea saccharalis</em> and of <em>Galleria mellonella</em>. LD50 for the fourth instar larvae of <em>H. zea</em> and <em>S. frugiperda</em> inoculated per os were 1.25 x 103 and 2.7 x 103 polyhedral inclusion bodies, respectively. The tissues infected included hemocytes, fat body, muscle, and epidermis. Furthermore, transovarian transmission of the virus was found in the inoculated individuals of <em>S. frugiperda</em>.}, number={2}, journal={The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico}, author={Kuno, Goro}, year={1979}, month={Apr.}, pages={162–169} }
