TABLE 4.

Enhancing activity of recombinant fusolin in peroral infectivity of AncuEPV^a

Inoculum	No. of infected larvae/no. of tested larvaeb	Infection rate (%)
AncuEPV spheroids alone	5/32	15.6
AncuEPV spheroids combined with rFusolin	23/33*	69.7
AncuEPV spheroids combined with rGUS	0/18	0
rFusolin	0/30	0
Sterile water	0/29	0

^aSecond-instar first-day larvae of A. cuprea were used in this test. A total of 1.5×10³ of AncuEPV spheroids was inoculated per larva, and 9 μg of rFusolin or rGUS was administrated per larva as an additive.

^b*, significant difference (P < 0.01, chi-square test) in the ratio of infected to uninfected larvae compared to inoculation of the spheroids alone.
