Screening of Medicinal Plants Against the Infection of Antheraea mylitta Cytoplasdmic Polyhedrosis Virus (AmCPV) in Tropical Tasar Silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury = Screening of Medicinal Plants Against the Infection of Antheraea mylitta Cytoplasdmic Polyhedrosis Virus (AmCPV) in Tropical Tasar Silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ten numbers of plants, based on their medicinal value, were used to test their efficacy against virosis (caused by cytoplassmic polyhedrosis virus) in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. in indoor rearing conditions. The aqueous extracts of leaf of Azadirichita indica (neem), Acharanthus aspera, Psoralea corylifolia, Asparagus racemosus, Adhatoda zelanica (Basak), Andrographis paniculata (Kalmegh), Moringa oilephera (sahjan), whole plant of Phyllanthus urinaria (Bhuiamla), Centella asiatica (Veng sag) and Curcuma longa (Haldi powder) in different concentrations were used for containment of virosis in silkworm larvae. The tasar silkworm larvae were orally inoculated with PIBs (1×106) of AmCPV in 2nd instar and treated with plant extracts in each instar (2rd instar onwards). The mortality due to virosis was recorded during larval period. The plant extracts, irrespective of their concentrations, were found effective in suppressing the virosis where P. urinaria reduced the virosis to 56.90% followed by A. paniculata (53.82%) and least in C. asiatica (5.15%). The lowest pooled larva mortality 36.99% was recorded in the treatment of P. urinaria. Comparatively higher larva mortality 39.91% was observed with the treatment of A. paniculata. The highest larva mortality in treatment was with C. asiatica (81.99%). In treated control larva mortality was 86.50%.
