Abstract: The reproduction, extraction, pathogenicity to Tea Tussork Moth and electron micrograph testing of Euproctis pseudoconspersa Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus(EpNPV) was investigated. The EpNPV was propagated through Inoculating 2~3 instar larvae of Euproctis pseudoconspersa, by raged with EpNPV at the concentration 106βPIB/ml, or inoculating 2~3 instar larvae in field condition. Inoculation the larvae with 106βPIB/ml, 107βPIB/ml, and 108βPIB/ml of EpNPV, the corrected mortalities were 43.60%, 76.13% and 64.68% on day 12 respectively, and reached 59.17%, 95.71%, and 95.70% on day 14 respectively. The mortality was 78.11% on day 15 treated with EpNPV(107βPIB/ml) under field condition. Virus of the EpNPV from the field dead larvae could be watched through the electron microscope.
