Abstract
It has been demonstrated for the first time that a viral infection can be formed in insects that survive after gypsy moth larvae are infected by nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) and cause the mortality of individuals in at least two subsequent generations (covered by the study period). The vertical transmission of the virus has been performed by both male and female insects that survive after infection. It is shown by PCR that the level of virus carriage in gypsy moth embryos of generations F1 and F2 is higher than the number of insects that die in polyhedrosis.
