Abstract: A nuclear polyhedrosis virus was isolated from the corpse of larva of Eupterote sapivora Yang in Guizhou Province, China. The back infection showed that the NPV is highly pathogenic to the insect. Under transmission and scanning of electron microscopy, the size of polyhedra ranges 1 540~3 380 nm and that of virions 380~460 nm. Ultra-thin sections showed that there are 2 or 3 virions in each bundle.
