Abstract
Nuclear-polyhedrosis-virus infection causes a decrease in total solids contents of the hemolymph of larvae of the variegated cutworm, Peridroma saucia. This decrease is partially caused by a decrease in hemolymph protein concentration and in free amino acids during the disease. An increase was found in the concentration of certain keto acids after infection. Nuclear polyhedrosis also causes an increase in transaminase activity in the fat body and in the intact organism. The amino-acid composition of the combined inclusion-body and virus-particle proteins was determined and found to be very similar to that reported in the literature by other workers.
