Summary Passage of nuclear polyhedral virus inclusion bodies in the gut of the detritiphagous OrthopteronA. domesticus is described. Histological studies permitted following the rate of passage and the elimination time of the inclusion bodies. Tests of virulency, carried out on newly hatched larvae ofB. mori, showed that inclusion bodies remained virulent and apparently unaffected by the digestive activities to which they had been exposed. These results suggest thatGryllus species can act as disseminators of insect viruses under field conditions.
