Abstract

Four entomopathogenic viruses and one each of an entomopathogenic bacterium, fungus and protozoan were inactivated when exposed to ultraviolet light; the half-life was less than 4 h in every instance. Relative ranking in stability of the entomopathogens was as follows: Bacillus thuringiensis > Nomuraea rileyi > entomopox virus > nucleopolyhedrosis virus = cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus > Vairimorpha necatrix > granulosis virus
