Summary

Transmission of polyhedral viruses byEphippiger bitterensis having ingested virus diseasedLymantria dispar larvae was observed in nature and in experiments. The passage of polyhedral bodies in different parts of the gut was studied by histological methods and the effect of the gut juice was found insignificant. These bodies were detected in dejections during 15 days after ingestion of diseased insects. Viruses were shown by electron microscope and the conservation of their pathogenic effect by infection tests. Significantion of these results in epizootiology and in biological control is discussed.
