ResumoA cytoplasmic polyhedral virus ex Phalera bucephala (L.) induces a polyhedrosis in some stocks of Pieris brassicae (L.). Larvae from different localities vary in their susceptibility to their own viruses and the stock of Pieris brassicae larvae most susceptible to its granulosis is also more susceptible to the polyhedrosis. Polyhedra obtained from Pieris brassicae , infected from Phalera bucephala , did not cause a cytoplasmic polyhedrosis in larvae of Plutella maculipennis (Curtis) and Pseudaletria unipuncta (Haw.), but did do so in the larvae of Lymantria monacha (L.).
