Abstract:

A four new cell lines viz., Bm-1, Bm-12 Bm-16, Bm-17 and Bm -5 is a worldwide used cell line are tested for BmNPV (Bombyx mori nuclepolyhdedrovirus) susceptibility and its replication The BmNPV was serially passaged in the Bm-12, Bm-1, Bm-16, Bm-17 and Bm-5 cell lines for five times. All the cell lines were found susceptible to BmNPV infection when inoculated with the haemolymph of BmNPV infected silkworm larvae. The infection rate was Bm-5 (93.79%), Bm-16 (91.30%), Bm-1 (90.30%), Bm-12 (87.20%) and Bm-17 (80.43%).

Keywords:

Bombyx mori, Ovarian cell lines, BmNPV infection
