Abstract
A nuclear polyhedrosis virus isolated from the alfalfa looper, Autographa californica, infected larvae of the pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella. Transmission was confirmed by light and electron microscopy and by feeding polyhedra obtained from pink bollworm cadavers to larvae of the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni. Preliminary studies were made of the infectivity, symptomatology, and histopathology of the virus in pink bollworm larvae.
