Larval gypsy moths, Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera:Lymantriidae) were co-infected with the L. dispar nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdMNPV) and the Cotesia melanoscela (Hymenoptera:Braconidae) polydnavirus (CmeBV). CmeBV was given along with a parasitoid egg and calyx products in a stinging event, or in the form of an injection of calyx-derived extract. LdMNPV was delivered per os, integrated into artificial diet. Mortality from all sources was recorded over the subsequent three-week period. Neither parasitism nor injections of purified CmeBV with toxin had any effect on the amount of mortality caused by concurrent challenges with LdMNPV.
幼虫舞毒蛾（Lymantria dispar）（鳞翅目：Lymantriidae）同时感染舞毒蛾核型多角体病毒（LdMNPV）和 Cotesia melanoscela（膜翅目：Braconidae）多粒包埋病毒（CmeBV）。CmeBV 是在蜇刺事件中与寄生蜂的卵和小茧共同提供的，或者是以小茧衍生提取物注射的形式提供的。LdMNPV 通过口服摄入，融入人工饲料中。随后的三周内记录了所有来源的死亡率。寄生或注射纯化的含有毒素的 CmeBV 对同时感染 LdMNPV 引起的死亡率没有任何影响。
