The Impact of a Cypovirus on Parental and Filial Generations of Lymantria dispar L. [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Recently, we found that the spongy moth Lymantria dispar L. is susceptible to infection by a Dendrolimus sibiricus cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (DsCPV-1). In the present study, we evaluated the pathogenicity of DsCPV-1 against L.

Fungal Pathogen Infection by Metarhizium anisopliae Alters Climbing Behavior of Lymantria dispar with Tree-Top Disease Induced by LdMNPV [PDF]
BiologyCertain parasites manipulate host behavior following infection to enhance their own dispersal and transmission. Lepidopteran larvae infected with baculoviruses exhibit increased locomotion, ascending to the apex of their host plant where they ultimately ...

New Insights into the Phenology and Overwintering Biology of Glyptapanteles porthetriae, a Parasitoid of Lymantria dispar [PDF]
InsectsGlyptapanteles porthetriae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary larval endoparasitoid of the spongy moth, Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). Previous studies suggested that only the spring generation of the wasp parasitizes early instars of L ...

A Comparison of the Vertical Transmission of High- and Low-Virulence Nucleopolyhedrovirus Strains in Lymantria Dispar L. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Baculoviruses can persist in insect host organisms after infection and may be vertically transmitted to the next generation, in which they may be reactivated.

Lethal effects of allyl isothiocyanate on the egg masses of flighted spongy moth complex Lymantria dispar japonica (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThis study showed that AITC substance was lethal effect to Lymantria dispar japonica egg mass, and our results show a significant decline in egg hatching rate with increasing AITC concentrations. Abstract BACKGROUND The flighted spongy moth complex (FSMC) lays egg masses not only on host plants but also various artificial structures, such as, cargo ...

Artificial Light at Night Affects Larval Growth Without Altering Survival or Pupation in Spongy Moth (<i>Lymantria dispar dispar</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we investigated how artificial light at night (ALAN) affects larval development in the invasive spongy moth. Caterpillars exposed to 3700 K LED light reached higher body masses than those under 2200 K or darkness, suggesting ALAN may enhance growth and influence population dynamics.
