    Description

    Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were developed for detecting gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV). They were used to detect the presence of NPV in hemoplymph samples collected from infected larvae. The incorporation of hybridoma antibodies with these procedures would make them even more specific for gypsy moth NPV detection. A pilot study of evaluating NPV spray with ELISA is also presented here. Potentially, these immunochemical methods have important applications in an IPM approach toward the control of gypsy moth.
