Abstract:
UNLABELLEDTo culture silkworm Cordyceps cicadidae artificially.
METHODTwenty Paecilomyces cicadae were collected and isolated from 8 natural reserves in China and the Cheju Island of Korea. By the impregnation method, their infection to silkworm larvaes and silkworm chrysalises and the synneneta production were studied.
RESULTThe results showed that all P. cicadiae strains could infect silkworm larvaes and silkworm chrysalises, and some strains could produce synnenetas.
CONCLUSIONThe silkworm chrysalis was better than silkworm larvae to culture C. cicadidae.
